“Saint Ives is the patron saint of lawyers. Those who knew him observed that he made people’s lives better and he made people better whenever he encountered them. A life in the law invites us to do that."

“Don’t wait for your career to happen to you. Put yourself in the driver’s seat and start building the relationships that will matter years from now.”

"The impact of our clinic is twofold: we provide much-needed legal help to members of the local community who would otherwise not be able to afford it and we prepare students with practical experience representing real clients with real legal issues."

“A lot of people come to law school thinking they know things about the law or with a law background, only to realize that they don’t have the knowledge they think they do. If you go in, eyes open, with a mind ready to learn, your professors will notice.” 

“My vision for the Women in Law Caucus is to keep growing it as a support system and a leadership incubator for women in the legal field.”

“My former CFO used to say that it appeared that I was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers. That is what law school and my time at Widener did for me. It turned me from a skilled checkers player in business and in life to the strategic and visionary chess player that I have become.”

"I find that being engaged real time with cutting edge legal issues brings an important dynamic to the classroom. It helps me prepare students for the legal issues they will encounter after graduation."

“Seeing a case through from the initial client interview to final judgment is incredibly rewarding. The clinic clients appreciate the services we provide, and it’s fulfilling to know that my work made a real and positive impact in our community.”

"Appreciate everyone who takes a chance on you. Even the unexpected twists in your career happen for a reason. Those moments shape who you become.”

“Widener Law Commonwealth’s unique programs helped me hone my courtroom skills, practice thinking on my feet, and graduate feeling prepared for my chosen path.”

“If my leadership leaves behind a culture where people feel safe, seen, and supported, then I’ve done my job.”

Widener Law Commonwealth honors the life, legacy, and gravity of Juliet M. Moringiello, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law.

“Our clients come to the law clinic with matters that are deeply significant to them. It’s a big responsibility, but it’s rewarding to be their advocate.”

"I never dreamed that I would serve two presidents, the U.S. Navy, two governors and the Pennsylvania Senate and be the first woman in our state to serve as its secretary-parliamentarian.” 

“Graduating from WLC helped to advance my career with promotions and new opportunities. My legal education helped to sharpen the analytical skills I now use in assessing many sides of an issue."
