When Mike Nifong, Durham District Attorney, asked for a recuse from the Duke lacrosse case in January 2007, Attorney General Cooper assumed responsibility. Cooper declared the case against the Duke lacrosse players “innocent” and said they were victims of a “tragic rush for accusation”. He was praised bipartisanally for his decision. He created the Campus Safety Task Force two days after the Virginia Tech shooting to study school shootings and to make recommendations for policy to the government to prevent and respond. In January 2008, the committee presented its report to Cooper. Cooper helped members of North Carolina’s General Assembly to pass a law that required court clerks record voluntary commitments in a national gun permit registry, following the publication of the task force report.

Both state and national Democrats attempted to recruit him to run against Republican US Senator Richard Burr in 2010, but he declined. In 2012 politicians suggested him as a possible candidate for Governor of North Carolina after incumbent Governor Bev Perdue announced her retirement, but Cooper declined to run. His political consultant announced in 2011 that Cooper would seek a fourth term in 2012. He was unopposed in both the Democratic primary and the general election. In the November 2012 elections, Cooper received 2,828,941 votes.

Cooper argued his first case before the United States Supreme Court, J. D. B. v. North Carolina, in 2011, a case related to Miranda rights in juvenile cases. The Court ruled 5–4 against North Carolina.

Following a decision in 2010 by a three-judge panel to exonerate Gregor Taylor, who had served nearly seventeen years for the first-degree murder of Jaquetta Thomas, Cooper ordered an audit after it was learned that officials at the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation forensic lab had withheld information. This suppression of evidence had contributed to Taylor’s conviction for murder. The audit was released in 2010; it found that it had been common practice for two decades for a select group of agents within the State Bureau of Investigation to withhold information. In addition, they did not keep up with scientific standards and the latest tests. The two investigators, Chris Swecker and Micheal Fox, cited almost 230 cases that were tainted by these actions. Three persons convicted in such cases had been executed; 80 defendants convicted were still serving time in prison. A massive state effort was undertaken to follow up on their cases.
