Faceoff: Cooley’s Dean vs. Law School Transparency

Over at The Careerist, the entertaining, talented, and insightful Vivia Chen has hosted an asynchronous debate between the dean of Thomas Cooley Law School’s Grand Rapids campus, Nelson Miller, and two of the people behind the Law School Transparency Project, Kyle McEntee and Patrick Lynch.

Here’s Dean Miller’s opening salvo, from last week, and here’s today’s reply from McEntee and Lynch.

Miller argues that “lawyer employment prospects remain strong” and claims that “Probably, no field of recent college graduates fares significantly better than law graduates do.”

McEntee and Lynch, by contrast, cite Matt Leichter’s blow-by-blow deconstruction of an earlier Cooley Law School effort, the “Report One,”, and accuse Miller of  nothing short of  ”deception.”

The floor is now yours, dear readers.  Vote for who you think has the better of this argument:
