Eligibility Admission
Suffolk JD Students
A student in good standing enrolled in the Suffolk University Law School JD program is eligible for admission to the JD/LLM in LIT dual degree program if the student has earned a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 in the Suffolk JD program.
Conditional Admission
Conditional admission is available to either an individual applying simultaneously for admission to the JD program and the LLM in LIT program or a student in good standing enrolled in the Suffolk University Law School JD program. Conditionally admitted students will complete the usual first year curriculum and begin LIT electives after the first year is completed.
Conditional admission becomes unconditional as soon as a student satisfies the requirement of a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 in the Suffolk JD program. A student who fails to satisfy this requirement is not permitted to continue in the JD/LLM in LIT program, but that circumstance does not have any adverse effect, by itself, on the individual’s academic standing in the JD program.
