DEAN'S MESSAGE

We're not here just to graduate law students. We're here to help you become a great lawyer.

Welcome!

At Suffolk University Law School, our graduates emerge as rigorous, adaptable, practiced legal thinkers, primed for the real demands of a life in the law. They pursue a wide range of careers in law firms large and small, public interest organizations, government and wherever there is a need for excellent lawyers.

A century ago, Suffolk Law was a night school with nine students and one professor. Its first graduate to pass the bar was a machinist by day.

Today, we continue to give our students a personal educational experience, even though we have grown to become one of the five largest law schools in the country. We are located in the heart of one of America's most dynamic cities, with a faculty of accomplished teacher/scholars, students from diverse backgrounds around the country, and a powerful network of more than 22,000 alumni around the world.

At Suffolk Law, you will experience something that is all too rare in American legal education: a school with the intellectual commitment and expertise to offer a superb curriculum in a wide range of fields from international law and intellectual property to advanced constitutional theory—and with the resources and clarity of focus to link legal theory firmly to the world of modern law practice.

If you want a welcoming, supportive community where you can challenge yourself, make the most of your talent, and learn to think like a lawyer in the best sense, you have come to the right place. Suffolk graduates make a difference.

Very truly yours,
