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.
