The private university currently offers three programs as legal employment credentials for paralegals. Approved by the American Bar Association since 1994, the school's options for study include a bachelor's degree program, an associate's degree program, and a nine-month certificate in paralegal studies program.

Suffolk's law school gestated as a public service when the founder, Gleason Archer, began offering courses to working people with the belief that people of all backgrounds and classes should have equal access to legal study.


The existing paralegal program structure in the department is exemplary of Archer's commitment to valuing diversity in education and responsibility to its students. Evening and day classes are available, and registration for day, evening, or a mix of both tracks is open to all program students, enabling working students or those with families or other complex situations more scheduling options.

Internships are required for both the bachelor's and associate's programs and are elective for the certificate program.

Students focusing on paralegal studies at Suffolk can expect an extensive supplementary network alongside their education including career planning and placement resources, a world-class law library, cooperative educational opportunities with students and alumni in fields such as business or the arts, as well as access to the most advanced technological research facilities, like Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis, available.

In addition, Suffolk promotes a Center for Advanced Legal Studies, which offers continuing support and education to its alumni. On average, the center implements 30 institutes, symposia, conferences, and programs for students and alumni every year. Many of these offer cutting-edge information to paralegals as well as ongoing practical applications that range from evening forums or one-day colloquia to multi-day conferences. In the past, these have included panels of experienced paralegals.

Suffolk University originated solely as a school of law, and its department remains world-renowned. The school has also been consistently featured in The Princeton Review's 350 Best Colleges. As well, Suffolk operates campuses in the cities of Madrid, Spain, and Dakar, Senegal, and offers one-year study-abroad opportunities to those pursuing bachelor's degrees.
