In partnership with the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) – a private nonprofit body that proposes uniform or model statutes for states – Widener’s
Law & Government Institute offers a special legislative program in which students research conflicts between existing state statutes and the model statutes created by the NCCUSL. The Legislation Certificate Program requires students not only to research these conflicts, but also to draft proposed amendments or suggest the elimination of existing statutes. In order to satisfy the requirements of the Legislation Certificate Program, you must complete a required course, an externship, and a writing requirement.
