Widener Commonwealth Law Review
Student Opportunities
Membership on the Widener Commonwealth Law Review enhances the legal education students receive in the classroom by building on their legal writing skills through the training and practice of rigorous reviewing and editing.
As an associate staff member, you will write a comment and a Pennsylvania administrative law case survey. Writing a comment provides a unique opportunity to publish novel legal scholarship on a wide array of topics early in your career. Student comments provide fresh insight and explore recent developments in emerging areas of the law.
Your case survey will have an excellent chance of being published in the Law Review's “Annual Survey of Pennsylvania Administrative Law.” This special issue provides an excellent opportunity to publish your own legal scholarship as the Law Review seeks to build a substantial record of commentary on Pennsylvania administrative law. As a senior staff member or survey staff member, you will work with your colleagues to publish all materials for that issue’s annual survey.
The Widener Commonwealth Law Review is committed to publishing legal writing that exhibits distinguished scholarship and conceptual merit, while facilitating the expression of diverse perspectives of prominent and contemporary legal issues. All of our published articles are made accessible through WESTLAW® and LEXIS®, and titles of all published articles appear in the Current Index to Legal Periodicals.
