WMU-Cooley Law School dismisses lawsuit against American Bar Association
LANSING - Western Michigan University Cooley Law School on Wednesday dismissed its lawsuit against the American Bar Association.
The Lansing-based law school filed a lawsuit against the accrediting agency in November of 2017 after the ABA published a letter saying one of its committees found Cooley was in violation of Standard 501(b), which says a law school "shall only admit applicants who appear capable of satisfactorily completing its program of legal education and being admitted to the bar."
Cooley argued in court records that the ABA didn’t have authority to publish preliminary findings and that doing so would harm the law school’s reputation.
In March, the ABA’s Accreditation Committee of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar determined that Cooley had taken steps to demonstrate compliance with Standard 501(b).
