"A first-rate legal education provides students the opportunity to practice the hands-on skills of lawyering, including legal research and writing, oral advocacy, case planning, and client counseling. I aim to shape my students’ legal education by teaching these skills while fostering a dedication to client-centered advocacy, professionalism, and community engagement."

Rebecca Feldmann joined Widener Law Commonwealth in 2025 and teaches Legal Methods. Professor Feldmann is passionate about helping her students develop critical lawyering skills that will allow them to thrive in their future careers and serve their communities. Previously, she taught as an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Arkansas - Little Rock William H.
