Academic Support Program

Alumni Engagement

The goal of the Academic Support Program (ASP) is for students to make the most out of their abilities. To accomplish this goal, ASP Professors conduct weekly classes on such diverse topics as: Legal Analysis and Writing; Course Outlining; and Time Management. In addition, the faculty will conduct seminars on a variety of topics, such as Legal Writing for Law School Exams and Preparing for Oral Presentations, during the course of the academic year. The program is staffed by four full-time members of the faculty: Professor Herbert N. Ramy (director); Professor Elizabeth Stillman; Professor Philip Kaplan and Professor Sarah Schendel. All four have a great deal of experience in legal education and specialize in assisting students who are struggling in law school. If you are struggling to master any aspect of your legal education, the professors in the Academic Support Program can help. Students are encouraged to contact any ASP Professor to set up an appointment.

Suffolk University Law School's 23,500+ graduates can be found in virtually every area of legal practice. Graduates are represented in 50 states as well as more than 50 countries worldwide. They work in private practice, corporations, public interest organizations and the military as well as in the executive, judicial and legislative branches of government. New students should capitalize on the vast Suffolk Alumni Association and not hesitate to reach out to alumni to seek advice, to learn about opportunities, and to foster relationships with legal experts and professionals. Students will be invited to alumni events and will have the opportunity to participate in the Alumni/Student Mentoring Program beginning in their 1 st year.
