Cooley Law School has announced it welcomed its largest incoming class in seven years, an increase of 36 percent above the law school’s enrollment projections for 2025-2026 and an increase of 100% from the fall 2024 entering class.
“As they began their first term, this diverse pool of graduate students and first-time law students are quickly discovering why Cooley is an unrivalled choice for experienced-based learning of the law,” said Cooley President and Dean James McGrath. “We are ecstatic to welcome the largest incoming class of law students to Cooley Law School since 2018.”
Cooley welcomed students to its Lansing, Michigan, and Tampa, Florida campuses when classes began on Sept. 2. In addition to Michigan and Florida where the law school has campuses, students are coming from Texas, California, New York, Utah, and Canada.
Students marked the official start of their law school career during a campus orientation convocation, where a sitting judge administers the professionalism oath and students commit to follow the Honor Code, the official guide to student conduct and behavior while in law school. Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Megan K. Cavanagh administered the oath for Cooley students in Lansing, while 13th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Nick Nazaretian administered the oath for students in Florida.
First-year law students at Cooley are assigned to Contracts, Torts, Research & Writing I, and Introduction to Legislation, Regulation & Statutory Interpretation courses.
“Cooley Law school has committed itself to a hands-on education that prepares students to become future-ready attorneys and lifelong learners,” said McGrath. “Since 2023, the law school’s curriculum has been adjusted to focus on core legal subjects and skills, leading a successful path for externship opportunities during their second and third years in law school.”
