In addition to the in-depth legal training you’ll receive in the classroom, you will be surrounded by opportunities for professional development and network building. With more than 60 activities and organizations on our two campuses there are many ways to get involved, stay informed, and keep in touch with your classmates, professors, and the thriving Delaware and Harrisburg legal communities—all while shaping your practical legal skills.
Law Reviews Legal research and writing are important parts of any successful legal career. You can perfect those skills by working on
The Delaware Journal of Corporate Law, the
Widener Law Review (Delaware), the
Widener Law Journal (Harrisburg), or our new online publication, the
Widener Journal of Law, Economics and Race.
