In an era when AI is reshaping the practice of law, Suffolk Law is doubling down on its reputation as a pioneer in legal technology education. The Law School, recently named to Bloomberg Law’s Top 10 Law School Innovators list, has announced what experts say is the country’s first STEM-designated LLM in Legal Innovation & Technology.
The 24-credit curriculum immerses students in cutting-edge legal practice, with courses like Generative AI and the Delivery of Legal Services; The Law of Artificial Intelligence; and Process Improvement and Legal Project Management.
“Students won’t just learn today’s tools—they’ll develop the judgment to shape tomorrow’s legal practice,” says Professor Dyane O’Leary, JD ’05, director of the program. “We’re teaching them to be discerning innovators who know when to leverage technology and when to rely on human expertise. That’s what law firms and legal departments need: lawyers who can navigate this intersection of legal judgment and technological possibility.”
The program launches in fall 2025, with applications opening January 1. Students can complete the degree in one year of full-time study or up to three years part-time.
