A federal appeals court on Tuesday affirmed dismissal of a fraud class action against Thomas M. Cooley Law School, concluding that Michigan’s consumer protection law did not apply to the purchase of a legal education and that Cooley’s job placement claims were not “objectively false.”

Following the ruling by three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, plaintiffs attorney Jesse Strauss said his team would consider whether to seek an en banc hearing.
