three-year Juris Doctor degree programs at its downtown Grand Rapids and Oakland
University, Michigan, locations on July 10, 2006. The move allowed students the opportunity to
earn a law degree at any of the school's three Michigan locations.
Cooley Law School opened the third and fourth floors of the Cooley Center on January 31,
