DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS This annual report for the 2007-08

academic year is filled with metrics and examples of how Widener Law

continues to distinguish itself. On the cover of this document, three

words are used to capture this past year: innovation, excellence, and

momentum. If I were to use one word to sum up our progress this

past year, it would be “success.”

Our achievements are directly related to the diligent investment of time, intellect, talent, and

treasure of our faculty, students, staff, alumni, and friends.

I thank you for your support.

PA BAR PASS RATES

RAISING THE BAR We are pleased with the heights to which we have risen in recent

years and are deeply grateful to those who made it possible. Yet our responsibilities

to the students and communities we serve compel us to aim even higher.


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.

In June the JURIST Academy welcomed nearly

30 promising undergraduates from historically

underrepresented groups to introduce them to

and prepare them for the law school experience.

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

Program was established by Widener Law’s Legal

Education Institute to assure due process and

adequate legal representation and to

professionalize court interpreter services in

Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Students who work in Widener’s Veterans Law

Clinic represent disabled veterans and their

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.

Last year Widener Law faculty members lectured

around the globe, including the following countries:

China, Germany, Australia, Kazakhstan, Canada,

Brazil, New Zealand, Italy, and Greece.

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.

Ninety-five percent of the class of

2007 found employment within nine

months of graduating, 3% higher than

the national average and an increase

of nearly 10% since 2005.

MOMENTUM Individually, the accomplishments of 2007-08 are examples of excellence

applied. Collectively, they are powerful evidence of an institution on the move. Our

direction and momentum are well borne out by the attention we are garnering from

others. Recognizing our progress, Widener Law donors are supporting their alma mater

in record numbers, with both total benefactors and total donations on the rise.
