Suffolk Law has again been named No. 1 in the nation for legal technology by prelaw Magazine. The school finished ahead of Georgetown (No. 2) and University of California, Berkeley (No. 3) to cement its place in the top spot, which it also held in the magazine’s last ranking in 2018.
PreLaw evaluated which law schools are doing the best job preparing the lawyers of the future. The magazine was especially interested in how well law schools are teaching students to harness technology to meet the demands of a legal industry transformed by the pandemic.
“Suffolk had a growing and nationally recognized legal tech infrastructure well before COVID hit. It boasts the Legal Innovation & Technology (LIT) Institute, the LIT Lab, the LIT Concentration, the Online LIT Certificate and LIT electives,” wrote preLaw’s editor.
“Tech firepower allowed Suffolk to jump into action” when the pandemic struck, the magazine said, praising Suffolk’s “tech whizzes” for creating a mobile phone and web tool that allows people to access court forms and then walks them, step by step, through the forms’ complex questions.
