Faculty and Student Programs

Law Review

Founded in 1982, The Thomas M. Cooley Law Review is committed to the highest legal standards of legal publication.

Moot Court

Adjunct faculty, all of whom are practicing appellate lawyers, teach the Intra-School Moot Court Class. Faculty judges help hone the students' arguments by asking questions that test the legal and factual theories the students are arguing.

Mock Trial

In five short years, our mock trial program has grown into one of the largest and well respected organization on campus. With the support and assistance of the adjunct and full-time faculty, the Mock Trial Board is able to reach many students with extensive training in trial advocacy, providing them with opportunities to compete on the intra-school and national level.

Student experiences with Cooley faculty

Cooley was one of the first to recognize that research and writing is just as important as torts, contracts, and property.
