Thomas M. Cooley School of Law is not sitting idly by as a New York law firm seeks potential plaintiffs for a class action against the school.

Lawyers for the law school filed a complaint on July 14 against Kurzon Strauss, claiming the firm defamed it in online posts advertising a potential class action. That action stemmed from what Kurzon Strauss has called as the school’s “blatant” manipulation of graduate employment and salary data.
