Widener's two Law Schools offer legal education at its best. It’s personal, practical, and centered on professional experience. The best way to reinforce classroom learning is to get hands on. Widener's two Law Schools operate clinics, arrange externships and public interest legal placements, run trial simulations and intensive advocacy training, and much more to help you build the skills you need for a successful legal career. While you study in one of our top-notch programs, your classroom experience will come to life as you represent clients in landlord-tenant matters, domestic violence hearings, federal court cases, and many other matters. Widener's two Law Schools offer excellent specialization opportunities. Widener University Delaware Law School, located in the heart of America’s “corporate capital,” is the perfect location to focus on corporate and financial law. It’s also home to our nationally recognized Health Law Institute. Widener University Commonwealth Law School, which sponsors our Law & Government Institute, is located just minutes from the Pennsylvania Capitol Complex and is full of opportunities to immerse yourself in government and public interest law. No matter where you choose to study, you’ll be taught by a faculty of nationally respected legal scholars whose passion for the law is matched only by their passion for teaching. Our Law Schools are about more than making the grade, it’s about making a difference. Our welcoming campuses promote intellectual, social, and cultural diversity and offer a wide range of experiences. We instill in our students a respect for the law as an instrument of positive change, as well as a means to build a rewarding career, and we encourage them to take advantage of our many clinical and externship experiences that provide pro bono legal assistance to low-income clients or involve serving the public interest through legal work in a government branch or agency.
