The Law School’s efforts over the last year enhanced its international reputation as a major source of scholarly research, legal training, and pro bono public service programs.

INNOVATION The unique genius of a Widener Law education is its seamless blend of textbook and real-world curriculum. Through our well-regarded institutes and clinics, we immerse students in the practice of law almost from the instant they begin law school. Expanded professionalism programs and pioneering diversity initiatives have made Widener Law a central player in national efforts to prepare attorneys as early as possible and to steer the legal profession toward resembling the population it serves.

The award-winning Court Interpreter Certification Students who work in Widener’s Veterans Law

Program was established by Widener Law’s Legal

Clinic represent disabled veterans and their

Education Institute to assure due process and

dependents before the Department of Veterans Affairs and the federal courts that handle veterans’ law cases. Last year Widener clinic students provided more than 10,000 hours of pro bono representation to their clients.

In June the JURIST Academy welcomed nearly

adequate legal representation and to

30 promising undergraduates from historically

professionalize court interpreter services in

underrepresented groups to introduce them to

Pennsylvania and Delaware.

and prepare them for the law school experience.

EXCELLENCE The numbers from 2007-08 are startling and speak to the quality of a Widener Law education. In securing both employment and judicial clerkships, our graduates exceeded national averages. Bar pass rates rose, student-faculty ratios decreased, and we recruited from a growing number of undergraduate schools. Our faculty and alumni continued to distinguish themselves in the United States and around the world by their achievements and their outstanding service to their profession.

IN MEMORIAM: JAMES F. GRAHAM ’89 (1953-2007) On September 10, 2008, scores of family and friends gathered on the Delaware Campus to remember the late James F. Graham ’89. Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin, in whose Cherry Hill branch Mr. Graham served as managing shareholder, generously purchased and placed a bench and plaque in Mr. Graham’s memory.

Dean Linda L. Ammons, Joe Santarone ’85, and Marshall Dennehey President and CEO Thomas Brophy spoke movingly in remembrance of Mr. Graham’s unique spirit, character, and presence.

Dean Ammons thanked the firm and its many Widener alumni for their loyal support and hosted a reception for those in attendance.
