Thomas M. Cooley Law School has seen its enrollment drop by 40 percent since 2010. But its Tampa campus keeps growing.

The Lansing, Michigan-based school recently announced it was adding three law professors and classes necessary for students to fulfill requirements for graduation.

Cooley Law School has three satellite campuses in Michigan, in addition to its main campus. It added a Tampa, Florida campus in 2012. Overall, enrollment has dropped from 3,931 students in 2010-2011 to 2,334 students in 2013-2014. But Tampa has grown to 403 students. The campus offers morning, afternoon and evening classes, and employs 16 full-time faculty and 19 full-time staff members, and has a pool of over 20 adjunct faculty members.

The new faculty members in Tampa include U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Catherine McEwen of Tampa; Susan Johnson-Velez, the current president of the Hillsborough County Bar Association and a prominent Tampa Bay attorney; and Maureen Milliron, attorney and seasoned law school professor from Naples, Florida.

New courses offered at Cooley include Bankruptcy Law, Advanced Corporate Transactions, Bar Exam Skills, International Law, Military Law, and Advanced Writing Skills. These courses will offer Cooley students all the required courses leading to a Juris Doctor degree.

“Cooley is proud to provide our students a complete course catalog taught by leading law practitioners,” said Jeff Martlew, associate dean at Cooley Law School Tampa Bay. “With the addition of Professors McEwen, Johnson-Velez and Milliron, Cooley continues to offer our students a tremendous depth of knowledge and experience to draw from.”
