James Matthews

James Matthews is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Law at Suffolk University Law School and the Faculty Director of Suffolk’s Accelerator-to-Practice Program. The Accelerator-to-Practice Program (“A2P”) is a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive, multi-year course of study and practice designed to prepare graduates for small and solo practice. Professor Matthews manages the program’s in-house clinic (the Accelerator Practice) where he supervises students in fee-shifting housing cases. The Accelerator Practice includes a year-long seminar, where students learn traditional lawyering skills and that also covers topics related to the business, marketing, and technological aspects of operating a small law office.
