Suffolk University and Suffolk University Law School offer a diverse array of campus resources to assist students with various rewards and challenges of law school. The services included in our list are accessible to all students.

Academic Support Program
Students with learning or other disabilities that may affect their writing or studies are encouraged by the Dean of Students Office to disclose this information to the Director of the law school's Academic Support Program. Writing specialists are available to assist students of all abilities in order to master their writing and study skills. In addition, the ASP conducts weekly classes on diverse topics such as legal analysis and writing, course outlining, preparing for oral presentations, and time management. The Academic Support Program is staffed by three full-time members of the faculty.

Peer Mentoring and Bar Exam Preparation Programs (PMP)
The Peer Mentoring Program assists nontraditional students adjusting to the rigors of the study of law and achieve their full potential as law students. Suffolk University Law School defines nontraditional students as those who have been historically excluded or marginalized from the law school community based on any of the following factors: (1)race; (2)ethnicity; (3)socioeconomic disadvantage; or (4)history of low performance on standardized tests. Participation in the PMP is entirely voluntary and free of charge. The PMP starts in the summer, about two weeks before orientation, and continues in the semester through weekly seminars designed to facilitate exam preparation. Eligible students are also able to meet with a student mentor on an ongoing basis to discuss study skills, case briefing, outlining, and related topics. For more information, please contact Professor James A. Janda at either 617-573-8035 or jjanda@suffolk.edu
