What is the Significance of the Thesis Requirement?
A Intellectual Property Law Concentration is offered to all qualified candidates for the J.D. at Suffolk University Law School who otherwise meet the course and grade requirements of the program. Each graduate of the Intellectual Property Law Concentration has the option of producing a thesis in some selected field related to the student’s concentration course work. The thesis typically consists of a 25-35 page paper of original research. The thesis is completed under the supervision of a full-time member of the law faculty and carries with it two credit hours. Students applying for thesis credit should sign up for a two-credit course called “High Technology Law Thesis.” Students electing to write a thesis, should enroll in the “Intellectual Property Law Thesis” course in the Fall semester or the semester prior to the semester of graduation. You will need to choose a thesis advisor from the full-time faculty before being permitted to register for the “Intellectual Property Law Thesis.”
