Widener Commonwealth Law Review
About This Journal
First published in 1992 as the Widener Journal of Public Law and until recently known as the Widener Law Journal, the Widener Commonwealth Law Review focuses on a wide range of topics, including constitutional law, civil and criminal law, professional ethics, administrative law, commercial law, and other emerging developments in the law. The Widener Commonwealth Law Review is published two times annually with one issue per year dedicated to the “Annual Survey of Pennsylvania Administrative Law,” which examines the administrative law decisions of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court and Commonwealth Court, one of two intermediate appellate courts. The annual survey contributes to the Law School’s mission of providing critical resources to the state capital by publishing student-written case analyses of recent administrative law decisions.
Each year, the Widener Commonwealth Law Review sponsors a symposium that brings together leading scholars, professors, judges, and practitioners to discuss history, advancements, and emerging issues related to a selected topic. Examples include Internet expression, sustainable energy, 50th anniversary of the National Conference of State Trial Judges, and Judicial Division of the American Bar Association. This annual regional event for judges, lawyers, and legal professionals provides credits for continuing legal education in Pennsylvania.
