Trump’s Lawyer Went to the Worst Law School in America

Michael Cohen’s alma mater has long been a punchline in the legal world.

By PHILIP SHENON May 04, 2018

The roster of the school’s graduates includes federal and state judges, two members of Congress and several high-profile courtroom lawyers and business leaders.

But whatever the accomplishments of its most distinguished alumni, the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan, once the largest law school in the U.S., does not have a reputation to match. And it never has.


Cooley may be, by some measurements, the worst law school in America. And its standing has not been enhanced by a flood of publicity about the quality of the legal work of its best known and, increasingly, most notorious alum: Michael D. Cohen, class of 1991, President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer and the target of a federal criminal investigation in New York that has clearly rattled Trump.

The school is sensitive to the headlines: “In light of the current publicity about Mr. Michael Cohen, one of our graduates, it is disappointing to see all the gratuitous negative comments about our law school from people who know nothing about us,” the school’s general counsel, James Robb, said in an impassioned written statement to Politico. “What I am seeing is incivility and bullying by people who truly know little about legal education—and especially about our fine law school.”

Bullies, however, are not responsible for the troubling statistics that Cooley discloses to applicants on its own website.

The school accepts almost anyone who can pay the $51,000 annual tuition bill—more than 85 percent of its applicants were admitted last year. Fewer than half of its graduates manage to pass a bar exam on their first try; among all law school graduates in the country, about 75 percent pass on their first attempt. The 46-year-old school has had to go to court over the past year to fight for its accreditation from the American Bar Association, which found that the school was out of compliance on basic admission standards for a time. Last year, the National Advisory Council for Law School Transparency gave Cooley a ranking no school wants: It was No. 1 on the group’s list of “the 10 least selective law schools in the country.”

Hiding news as usual....

Jared Kushner quietly meets with Saudi Crown prince amid day of chaos on Capitol Hill
President's son-in-law takes quiet international trip as his former lawyer details his crimes on Capitol Hill


Jared Kushner quietly met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman during a foreign trip featuring meetings with top Middle East officials that is sure to raise controversy in the United States.

The White House released a readout of the previously non-disclosed meeting between the Crown Prince and Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser just minutes after the president’s former attorney and “fixer” began a highly-anticipated public testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

News outlets across the country were covering the developments on Capitol Hill in real-time as one of Mr Trump’s closest former confidants detailed his alleged criminal conduct, racism and lies from the 2016 presidential election and after assuming the Oval Office.

Mr Kushner was meeting with the 33-year-old Saudi Arabian leader for the first time since the Crown Prince was alleged by the international community and global intelligence experts to have ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist killed inside a Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Mr Khashoggi was a notable journalist who frequently wrote reports critical of the Saudi government.

It's late.

So you have a crooked lawyer charged with crimes that have nothing to do with Donald Trump so of course he's going to say things trying to get his charges reduced. It's an old game. Fish for the crook and then offer a deal to get him to testify in court against someone the fix wants to take down. People will buy Trump may not be the most honest person in the world but Trump has been a public figure for decades and calling him a racist is just stupid. Nobody is going to buy that one because Trump never said anything racist or acted racist in his very public life before entering a run for the presidency. So really not much is going to come from this thing. It's a nothing burger. The senate judiciary committee already cleared Trump on the collusion charges and they have had all the access to the same information the Justice Department has. The whole thing has been silly.

So in 2020 10% of the voting public will decide who the next president is going to be. 45% of the voting public will vote Trump. 45% will vote for whoever the Democrats run against him. So really it's business as usual. Trump will finish this term out and may win the next one. It's all what the 10% decide they want.

The racist accusation is uncorroborated and from an unreliable witness. I think Trump is racist based on other things but it's irrelevant with the Cohen thing.

Trump may not be the most honest person is a big understatement and its sad that 40% (not 45%) of Americans are fine with that.

Trumps crooked personal lawyer ('I hire the best people') like him is a proven liar so to believe him you need evidence. Those checks sound like evidence.

People didn’t vote for Donald Trump because he was a saint. New York City is a seedy place and you have to rub shoulders with seedy characters to get anything done there. Everyone knows that. People voted for Trump to A). Have an outsider stir the pot and/or B). They liked what he was running on. So about half the voting public are going to hate him and half are going to give him a shot.

People today accuse everyone and everything they don’t like as being racist. That word is used so much it’s really become a joke.

So we are back to Russian collusion. The Senate judiciary committee said they couldn’t find any. So now it’s all about Donald Trump being a conman and a racist. Well most our politicians are professional bullshitters. The racist claims mean nothing unless you have evidence of Trump calling someone a ****** or something.

Plus this whole investigation has gone on too long and only the people who hate Trump even care what Cohen has to say. Most people are more interested in seeing if we really are going to finally end the Korean War for good.

Cohen did it all for nothing. That's what you get when you work for a sociopath.
