Suffolk Law's accelerated JD program caters to ambitious, highly dedicated students eager to tackle year-round coursework, allowing them to complete their law degree a full year faster than traditional programs. Given the program's rigorous pace, admissions are extremely competitive with limited spots available.
Participants in Suffolk Law's accelerated track can graduate in just 24 months (full-time) or 36 months (part-time evening). While following the same core curriculum and credit requirements as standard JD students, they complete their studies faster by attending summer sessions before and after their first academic year.
The Intellectual Property concentration at Suffolk Law offers experiential, skills-based education that blends cutting-edge clinical experiences with conventional classroom instruction. Our program ranks among the nation's most extensive and sophisticated IP offerings, featuring a broad selection of courses covering this multifaceted legal domain. IP law encompasses patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and publicity rights - interconnected fields that protect intellectual creations while maintaining distinct characteristics. Students may pursue Intellectual Property as either a Concentration or Area of Focus.
