The Thomas M. Cooley Law School, colloquially called the Cooley Law School or just Cooley, is in Michigan. The school is accredited by the American Bar Association and has campuses in Ann Arbor, Auburn, Grand Rapids and Lancing. Cooley is noted for having the largest student body of any law school in the nation, as well as for having a large number of minority students.

Cooley Law School has a minimum LSAT requirement for admission, but it also created an index that incorporates undergraduate GPA called the Cooley Admission Index for those students who do not meet the baseline LSAT score but show academic aptitude. The Cooley Admission Index multiplies an applicant's GPA by 15 and adds the sum of that to the applicant's LSAT score to create an overall index score.

Cooley Law School also offers a part-time program with less stringent admission requirements. Admission into this program requires a 190 to 194 index score if the student does not meet the minimum 143 LSAT score requirement or an LSAT score of 146 to 148 if the applicant does not have an index score of 187 or above.
