decision time

Congratulations and welcome! You've been accepted to the 2025 entering class at Suffolk University Law School.

As you move through the decision process, you may have questions about our students, faculty, the Boston area, experiential opportunities, and what it is like to be a first-year law student. You will find some of the answers to your questions on this website.

We have created a step-by-step checklist to assist your process. When you complete a task, mark it “done,” and, if you access this site from the same computer each time, your browser will remember where you left off.

These deadlines apply to students in the traditional JD program with classes beginning in the fall. If you are an accelerated JD student beginning classes in May, please see important dates and deadlines found in the Accelerated JD FAQ.
