US News & World Report has ranked Suffolk Law's Clinical Programs in the top 25 for five straight years.

Our clinical programs are all about the experience. Whether it’s advocating for battered women or defending juvenile delinquents, students make a real impact on real lives.

The stakes are enormous. These are real clients, facing daunting problems -- eviction, prison, financial ruin. But with our experienced faculty by their sides, students learn to practice law the best possible way: by doing it.

That’s the Suffolk Law Experience -- and one of the reasons our Clinical Programs have been ranked among the nation's best for five years running.
