DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS

This annual report for the 2007-08 academic year is ﬁlled with metrics and examples of how Widener L aw 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.

Dean Linda L. Ammons

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.

INNOVATION

The unique genius of a Widener L aw 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 L aw 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.

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.

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.

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.

The numbers from 2007-08 are startling and speak to the quality of a Widener L aw 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.

BAR PASS RATES

Last year Widener Law faculty members lectured around the globe, including the following countries: China, Germany, Australia, Kazakhstan, C anada, Brazil, New Zealand, Italy, and Greece.

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 L aw donors are supporting their alma mater in record numbers, with both total benefactors and total donations on the rise.

The Delaware Journal of Corporate Law was ranked 13th among the nation’s specialty law journals last year.

Last year our Health Law Program was ranked ninth in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. It also successfully launched joint health/law degree programs with Thomas Jefferson University.

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.

LEADING INTERNATIONALLY Members of Widener L aw’s faculty have increasingly gained

prominence. Their expertise in topics that have relevance beyond our borders has brought them the recognition of their colleagues, the media, and governments abroad.

LARRY BARNETT was a presenter at the International Conference on L aw and Society, held in Berlin, Germany, from July 25 through 28, 2007. The conference was sponsored jointly by the U.S. L aw and Society Association and by the Research Committee on the Sociology of L aw, a standing committee of the International Sociological Association. The two organizations hold a joint meeting every ﬁfth year. Professor Barnett’s presentation was based on his article “The Roots of L aw.”

JOHN CAPOWSKI was an invited speaker at the October 2007 International Symposium on Evidence L aw and Forensic Science: International Perspectives and the Chinese Experience, in Beijing, China. In addition, Professor Capowski published “Evidence Codiﬁcation and Transubstantive and Bifurcated Evidence Rules” in The Journal of the Institute of Evidence Law and Forensic Science of China University of Political Science and L aw (translated and published in Chinese at pages 226-33). He also presented to the faculty of law at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in Sydney, Australia, on China’s existing judicial process and the Chinese effort to establish the country’s ﬁrst evidence code. Professor Capowski was in Sydney teaching Comparative Civil Procedure in Widener’s international program with UTS. He also spoke to the faculty at the School of L aw’s Delaware Campus on China’s judicial system and the efforts to reform it.

ERIN DALY presented “Constitutions in Transition” at the International Studies Association’s annual conference in San Francisco as part of a series of panels on transitional justice.

JOHN DERNBACH participated in a State Department-sponsored speaking trip in July 2007 to Kazakhstan, where he talked with government ofﬁcials, nongovernmental organizations, media, and students about climate change and sustainable development.

JILL FAMILY presented “Immigration Judicial Review Waivers” to the L aw and Society Annual Conference in Montreal on May 30; “Stripping Immigration Judicial Review: the Certiﬁcate of Reviewability” at the L aw and Society International Conference in Berlin, Germany, in July 2007; and “Reforming the Judiciary Through Immigration Reform” at the Worldwide Immigration/Migration Issues and the Rule of L aw Conference of the World Jurist Association.

LOUISE HILL published “Disparate Positions on Conﬁdentiality and Privilege Across National Boundaries Create Danger and Uncertainty for In-House Counsel and Their Clients” in BNA Corporate Practice Series, Legal Ethics for In-House Corporate Counsel (January 2008).

DAVID HODAS presented “Sustainable Energy: An International L aw Failure” at the Fifth Colloquium IUCN Academy of Environmental L aw, Rio +15: A Legal Critique of Ecological Sustainable Development in Paraty, Brazil. Professor Hodas also presented “Climate Change and Sustainable Energy L aw: A Proposal for a Comprehensive IUCN Research Agenda” in Vancouver and “Legal Issues in Addressing Climate Change and Sustainable Energy” in Ottawa, Canada. He published “Climate Change and L and Use in Africa” in Land Use Law for Sustainable Development (Cambridge University Press).

ALICIA KELLY presented “Unmasking Interdependence: Reforming the Upside Down Rules Structuring Ongoing Property Relations During Marriage in Families” at the International Society of Family L aw Regional Conference in Vancouver, BC, in June 2007.

J. PATRICK KELLY was appointed to the Advisory Board of the International Economic L aw Interest Group of the American Society of International L aw. He spoke on several international law topics, presenting “Naturalism in International Adjudication” at Duke L aw’s symposium entitled “Public and Private L aw in International Adjudication.” He also spoke at the American Society of International L aw’s annual meeting on the Politics of International L aw and became involved in the Kenya Water Is Life Project. Professor Kelly published “International L aw and the Shrinking Space for Domestic Politics in Developing Countries” in Comparative Constitutionalism and Rights: Global Perspectives (Cambridge University Press, 2008).

JULIET MORINGIELLO presented “Towards a System of Estates in Virtual Property” at the Second International Conference on Legal, Security and Privacy Issues in IT, in Beijing, China, on December 7, 2007. In addition, she taught a one-day course, Electronic Commerce, at the 45th Academy of American and International L aw, at the Center for American and International L aw in Plano, TX.

THADDEUS POPE presented “The Intersection of International Human Rights and Bioethics” to the Section of Human Rights Panel on New Voices in Human Rights at the AALS 2008 meeting.

ANDREW STRAUSS is co-author (with Burns Weston, Richard Falk, and Hilary Charlesworth) of the recently published fourth edition of International Law and World Order, a leading international law textbook. His articles have appeared in international journals such as Foreign Affairs, The Harvard Journal of International Law, and The Stanford Journal of International Law. In January 2008, he published “Op Ed: Give Citizens a Voice” in The Times of India. Professor Strauss recently presented at a conference sponsored by the Greek Foreign Ministry in Athens and was retained by a national government as co-counsel to bring a lawsuit before the International Court of Justice.

IN MEMORIAM: JAMES F. GRAHAM ’89 (1953-2007)

On September 10, 2008, scores of family and friends gathered on the Delaware C ampus to remember the late James F. Graham ’89. Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin, in whose Cherry Hill branch Mr. Graham served as managing shareholder, generously purchased and placed a bench and plaque in Mr. Graham’s memory.

Dean Linda L. Ammons, Joe Santarone ’85, and Marshall Dennehey President and CEO Thomas Brophy spoke movingly in remembrance of Mr. Graham’s unique spirit, character, and presence.

Dean Ammons thanked the ﬁrm and its many Widener alumni for their loyal support and hosted a reception for those in attendance.
