This lecture series honors John Gedid, one of the founders of Widener Law Commonwealth, the school’s first vice-dean and the founder of Widener’s Law and Government Institute. Professor Gedid has served as a wonderful mentor to every faculty member the school has hired. The series showcases the work of nationally recognized young scholars much the same way Professor Gedid has fostered, encouraged, and applauded the work of those who joined the school he helped to found.
This lecture will be presented by Miriam Seifter, associate professor of law and Rowe faculty fellow in regulatory law at the University of Wisconsin Law School, where she is also faculty co-director of the State Democracy Research Initiative. Her recent work examines state constitutional and administrative law, with a focus on challenges facing democracy at the state level law.
