| Attorney Cook is profiled as an expert on the New York Law Journal web site
New York attorneys are only required to take 24 hours of classes over a two year period in order to keep their license to practice law. During the last two year period, Mr. Cook attended 360 hours of law lectures. That is FIFTEEN times the amount of continuing legal education required.
Most attorneys spend seven years in college to obtain two degrees (bachelors and law.) Mr. Cook spent 24 semesters in post-high school training. This amounts to TWELVE years in college degree programs, and he obtained masters degrees in BOTH business and law. That is TWICE as many degrees (and roughly twice the amount of years) that are necessary to practice law in New York. Mr. Cook has also achieved over a DOZEN technology certifications and he owns three technology corporations. New York is arguably the hardest bar exam to pass in the United States. New York tests 26 different areas of law and thirty percent failed in 2007. Passing the New York bar exam is respected by other states, and many other states offer reciprocity which means a New York attorney can obtain a law license in the other state without having to take the bar exam for that other state. Mr. Cook passed the New York bar exam on his first attempt.
