Juris Doctor - Diversity and Social Justice (Accelerated)

Suffolk Law's accelerated JD program is designed for the driven, highly motivated student who is ready to take on the challenge of year-round classes to earn their JD one year sooner than traditional students. Due to the intensity of the program, admission is highly selective and enrollment is limited.
Accelerated students at Suffolk Law can earn their degree in 24 months (full-time) or 36 months (part-time evening). They take the same required curriculum as other JD students and complete the same number of credit hours as the traditional JD program, but can finish in less time. Accelerated law students attend classes the summer before and after the first year to shorten the time needed to graduate.
The advancement of diversity and social justice is a cause that many attorneys may address in their careers. Suffolk University Law School's commitment to these important objectives reflects itself in the wide range of courses that address issues of diversity, inclusion, and social justice. While many courses at the Law School reflect these objectives, the courses gathered here are notable in that they are addressed in a particular way to this cause and will be of interest to students who wish to focus their careers on the advancement of diversity, inclusion, and social justice.
