Registration Guide 2012-2013

Concentrations All concentrations at Suffolk have an open admissions policy. Any interested students are welcome and encouraged to enroll. Students who wish to enroll in a concentration should file an Academic Concentration Notice of Enrollment form with the Registrar. It is possible to switch concentrations, but students may only enroll in one concentration at a time. Participation in a concentration is only noted on a student's Law School transcript if the student is able to satisfy the concentration's requirements by the time of graduation. No adverse notation is made on a graduating student's Law School transcript if the student opts not to complete the concentration or does not meet the concentration's requirements Students who opt to concentrate must demonstrate legal writing competency in their area of concentration. Concentrators may either choose to write a Thesis on a concentration-related topic, under the supervision of a full-time faculty member, or to satisfy the Law School's legal writing requirement in connection with an approved concentration course. Those students who opt to write a Thesis should file an Academic Concentration Thesis Registration form with the Registrar once they have determined their topic and faculty advisor. Concentration students who opt to fulfill their Concentration's legal writing requirement in an approved Concentration course must file a Academic Concentration Writing Requirement Form with the Registrar's Office.
