<p>I do know some Cooley grads who have good jobs, but I also have heard a lot of joking about how “easy” it is to get a Cooley degree (although you still have to pass the bar … if the grads pass the bar, they can’t have received too bad an education).</p>
<p>I suspect in Cooley’s case the grads are realizing what MANY recent law school grads are realizing … there are more new lawyers than there are jobs available for new lawyers. The school is in Michigan, meaning there are likely to be even fewer available jobs. If the grads borrowed a lot in order to get the law degree, they probably want to live with the parents while they are unemployed - so they aren’t moving somewhere with jobs - and so it goes.</p>
