Danielle Hall

As the Assistant Dean of Admissions, Financial Aid, and Registrar, I’m passionate about helping prospective students navigate the entire law school experience from start to finish. With the goal of finding a supportive and collaborative environment for all students and ensuring access to legal education, I am here to help you become a future-ready lawyer. This starts with helping you find the best fit for your academic and career goals, making sure you understand the complexities of student loans and scholarships, and facilitating your student experience by ensuring accurate records and timely graduation.

I provide overall leadership in areas relating to admissions, financial aid, student enrollment, grades, registration, school policy enforcement, record integrity, and data reporting. I advise faculty, staff, students, alumni, administration, and external constituencies on a daily basis.

After graduating from Cooley Law School in 2001, I practiced family and criminal defense law in a boutique firm in West Michigan. I left the practice in 2004 to join my alma mater at our Grand Rapids campus and worked in recruiting and career counseling at Cooley until becoming the Registrar in 2017.

You can always reach out to me!
