We are excited to let you know our Suffolk University Law Schoolโ€™s Pre-Law Achievers Network application is now available! This yearโ€™s program will run from May 31-June 12 here in the heart of Boston.

The Achievers Network (Achievers) is a FREE program designed to equip participants who come from diverse or nontraditional backgrounds with the tools they will need to prepare successful applications to law school and succeed once they are admitted. Achievers take legal classes that mirror the 1L experience, get one-on-one application assistance from experienced admission officers, and meet practicing lawyers in and around the Boston area.

College students or recent graduates from underrepresented or nontraditional backgrounds such as racial minorities, first generation students, and members of the Q+ community, who plan to apply to law school in 2027 or 2028 and any student who holds a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better are welcome to apply.

When U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) families face a financial crisis, some may not know what steps to take. Suffolk Law 3L USCG Lieutenant Jack Brandt built a digital tool to help.

We are deeply saddened at the passing of Judge Frank Caprio, Sr., JD '65, HLLD โ€™91 who came to be known as one of America's most compassionate judges. Judge Caprio's story embodies Suffolk Universityโ€™s historic mission to offer opportunity to those who traditionally have lacked access. The son of an Italian immigrant father and Italian-American mother, he lived in a Providence cold-water flat growing up, working as a high school teacher while attending Suffolk Law at night. He went on to serve 38 years as a Providence Municipal Court judge, touching lives through his humane approach to justice.

His Emmy-nominated and syndicated TV show "Caught in Providence" made him a global celebrity, watched by a multitude of fans who found hope in his fairness and understanding. But Judge Caprioโ€™s generosity extended far beyond the camerasโ€”he quietly helped thousands who had fallen on hard times.

His commitment to Suffolk Law never wavered, and in celebration of that devotion he received Suffolk Lawโ€™s Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award in 2023. He established the Antonio "Tup" Caprio Scholarship Fund, named after his father, for Rhode Island students dedicated to serving underserved communities. Both of his sons, Frank T. Caprio, JD โ€˜91 and David Caprio, JD โ€˜94 are also Suffolk Law graduates. Judge Caprio reminded us all to be compassionate and understanding of our fellow human beings. His legacy of justice, kindness, and hope will forever inspire the Suffolk University community. Suffolk University Law School Suffolk University
