WMU and Cooley sign more agreements to work together

Related Articles

Western Michigan University and WMU-Cooley Law School officials signed a series of new agreements that will continue the expansion of legal education in West Michigan.

The terms of the new agreements are already enabling the delivery this semester of two upper-level law classes on the WMU campus in Kalamazoo. Classes in employment and environmental law — the first WMU-Cooley law classes offered on the WMU campus — began in January. The new agreements also will pave the way for a group of first-year law students to begin basic legal education on the WMU campus in fall 2016.

The three new agreements cover facilities use, courses and programs, and parking. Additional agreements are being developed, along with a series of new initiatives triggered by the affiliation the two schools launched in August 2014. The affiliation formally links the private law school and public university, but allows both to retain their governance and fiduciary independence.
