This year ’ s annual report cannot begin to capture all of the academic and non-classroom programs and activities that our two campuses undertake in a given year However, I hope that you will get a feel for the vibrant environment that is central to the teaching, learning, and service law community that is Widener Law On the following pages, you will see that this past year was not only about making the grade, but that we set out also to make a difference For today and for the future Thank you for all your support

Sincerely,

LINDA L. AMMONS, JD ASSOCIATE PROVOST AND DEAN

In 2010-2011, Widener Law hosted more than 2,000 practicing attorneys, jurists, corporate officials, public officeholders, and other legal professionals in CLE programs, an increase of more than 30% since 2009

The law is an integral part of the American dream It governs our government Shapes our society and its norms And protects our health and safety, allowing us to live more productively and more peacefully with one another

Thus, the study and practice of law is a serious and necessar y contributor to the well-being of our countr y in ever y aspect our economic and environmental sustainability, the health of our citizens, and the opportunity to explore and embrace change, growth, and diversity as we compete and coexist in our global community.

At Wide ne r Law, we hold sacred our role in educating a nd inspiring t he ne xt ge ne ration of legal professionals This year, we have expanded our academic engagement with great legal minds across t he countr y a nd a round t he wor ld We have brought more spe ake rs to our ca mpuses, our stude nts a nd professors have logged more hours of pro b on o wor k a nd community involve me nt, and we continue to work ever more closely with business and government leaders locally, regionally, and nationally.

At Widener Law, we are students, scholars, and leaders. In the law. And in life.

A Tradition of Excelle nce. A Ye a r of Achie ve me nt.

In 2010-2011, we were gratified that many of our programs and practices were recognized for excellence, not just locally, but throughout the region and the countr y.

Widener Law was awarded “Magna Cum Laude” status in a national list of “Top Green Schools” compiled by National Jurist magazine and its sister publication, pre-Law. The honor was based on the strength of our environmental law curriculum and the school’s earth-friendly practices

On the 2010 Washington and Lee Law Review Rankings ranked The Delaware Journal of Corporate Law second in the categor y of Corporations & Associations, trailing only the Yale Journal on Regulation Each of its three yearly issues features articles that influence the way professors, practitioners, and courts across the countr y understand current topics in corporate and business law

On the Harrisburg campus, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Thomas G. Saylor gave his second lecture in his role as the school’s distinguished jurist in residence “Power and Prerogative: Reflections on Judicial Suspension of Laws” was delivered to law students, professors, and members of the Pennsylvania legal community on Tuesday, March 22. It stressed the importance of judicial restraint and economy when considering

invalidating enactments of the political branch. Justice Saylor has been distinguished jurist in residence since 2009

With one of our campuses located in the corporate capital of the United States, we are uniquely qualified to host the only corporate law moot court competition in the countr y. Now in its 23rd year, the event drew students from 22 law schools nationwide in 2011 Participants relished the opportunity to avail themselves of the resources of our Institute of Delaware Corporate and Business Law, and to learn and compete in front of Delaware’s distinguished corporate legal community.

Among 431 specialized law reviews, the Delaware Journal of Corporate Law ranked second in the Corporations & Associations category, fourth in the Commercial Law category, and eleventh overall in Washington and Lee’s 2010 Law Review Rankings

A success from the outset, the Widener Corporate Compliance and Ethics Program is the only corporate program in the countr y to be accredited by the Compliance Certification Board (CCB) and the Society for Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE ). The SCCE honored Widener Law with an award recognizing our exceptional work and leadership in developing programs that promote the relatively new professions devoted to compliance and ethics.

Not all Widener Law programs lead to a J D Our new Master of Jurisprudence in Corporate and Business Law program is designed for those seeking graduate-level training in legal analysis and regulator y compliance for a corporate, business, non-profit, or government environment

Widener Law is also leading the way in the ever-growing specialty of environmental law, becoming the first law school to sign on to the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Pennsylvania Lawyers United for Sustainability (PLUS) Program, an initiative that encourages Pennsylvania attorneys and law firms to demonstrate commitment to environmental sustainability Guidelines include methods to save energ y, cut paper use, incre ase recycling, and reduce waste, as well as tips for purchasing “ green ” office equipment and supplies.

Environmental law was also the focus of a white paper intended to strengthen recycling and waste reduction in Pennsylvania Distinguished Professor John C Dernbach, director of the school’s Environmental Law Center, worked with five students from his climate change law seminar to research and report on the status of Pennsylvania’s recycling law in observation of its 20th anniversar y The report, “Next Generation Recycling and Waste Reduction: Building on t he Success of Pe nnsylva nia’s 1988 Legislation,” includes recommendations to expand recycling and waste reduction in ways that would create jobs and spur the state’s economy Environmental issues were not limited to Pennsylvania The Delaware Supreme Court granted the Delaware chapter of the Sierra Club the right to file an amicus curiae brief in support of an appeal by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC ) in the case of Sussex County v. the State of Delaware, DNREC. The Superior Court found in favor of Sussex County and several private landowners ruling that DNREC ’ s regulations instituting land buffers and zoning restrictions in the inland bays watershed constituted zoning DNREC appealed the Superior Court’s ruling to the Delaware Supreme Court with Associate Professor Ken Kristl, Director of Widener Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic, filing a motion on behalf of the Sierra Club for leave to file as an amicus curiae in support of DNREC ’ s position

In 2011, the law school was honored by the Society of Corporate Compliance & Ethics for exceptional work in strengthening the corporate compliance and business ethics professions

Professor Ken Kristl remained active and influential in critical environmental law issues

Wi t h i n s i x m ont h s of pu bl i cl y l a u nch i ng ou r ca m pa i gn,

Taking the Lead: the Campaign for Widener, our alumni and friends

took us ne a r ly to 70% of our $12 million goal, incre asing

t he ir fina ncial s uppor t by 14.8% in fiscal ye a r 2010-2011.

It was a remarkable and imperative show of support. Our leadership on many fronts is self-evident, but as a young law school, it is critical that we continue to build the infrastructure necessar y to cement and extend that leadership With the fruits of this campaign, we are providing resourceful, innovative students and faculty the means to do just that.

EUGENE D MCGURK JR ’78, Widener Trustee, Chairman of the law school’s Board of Overseers, and National Advisor y Council member, had this in mind when he made the largest planned gift in the law school’s histor y His gift will endow a student fellowship in one of the law school’s signature programs on the Delaware campus He was joined by National Advisor y Council Member ALAN B LEVIN ’81, who established the Honorable Alan B Levin Scholarship Fund for students demonstrating character and financial need; by Overseer GEORGE K MILLER ’81, who provided substantial funding for the School of Law Scholarship Fund; and by the MUTUAL FIRE FOUNDATION, which also provided scholarship funding In Harrisburg, Overseer and Harrisburg Campaign Sub- Committee Chairman DOUGLAS M WOLFBERG ’96 likewise provided key scholarship support, as did National Advisor y Council members MICHAEL J. AIELLO ’94 and DOUGLAS J. STEINHARDT ’94. Through their gifts, they established the Douglas M. Wolfberg Health Law Scholarship, Michael J Aiello Scholarship, and Douglas J Steinhardt Scholarship

Our alumni and friends answered the call in great numbers to support the Widener Law Fund, the unrestricted proceeds from which can be put to use as opportunity arises. They were led byNational Advisor y Council Member ALICE W. STRINE ’ 92, through the Walter M Strine and Alice Washco Strine Foundation; by Widener Law parent and National Advisor y Council Member Alexander Bratic, through the Mutual Fire Foundation; by DR . ROBERT D. GOBER ’ 79; and by an anonymous donor who provided a generous and unprecedented match for faculty and staff contributions, which reached record levels

In a year during which the law school undertook significant improvements to both its campuses, the Welfare Foundation championed this cause, providing a grant that enabled the law school to complete its year-long renovation of Polishook Hall ALEXANDER BRATIC also provided key assistance by obtaining a substantial grant from the MUTUAL FIRE FOUNDATION, which named and endowed the clinics’ Franklin Homeowners Assurance Company Moot Courtroom. The campaign has empowered Widener Law’s efforts to serve the broader community as well Our clinical programs, just one year after celebrating a number of milestone anniversaries, received critical funding from a number of sources Among them, PENNSYLVANIA IOLTA continued its generous support for the Harrisburg Civil Law Clinic The Delaware campus clinics got a big boost from National Advisory Council Member CARY FLITTER ’81, who through his

Cary L Flitter ’81 and Theodore E Lorenz ’92 present Dean Linda L Ammons the proceeds of a 2011 cy pres award

Lundy, Flitter, Beldecos, and Berger, PC directed a substantial cy pres award, which will fund fellowships and externships in consumer law, to t he law school. THE BANK OF AMERICA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION continued its support for the Public Interest Resource Center ’ s FINANCIAL LITERACY EDUCATION PROGRAM. Overseer LEE A. SOLOMON ’76 created the Lee and Dianne Solomon Scholarship Fund for the benefit of students providing pro bono assistance through the center, joining E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY, which continued its long-running support for public interest fellowships The CLANEIL FOUNDATION, the U S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, and CHESPENN HEALTH SERVICES enabled the Health Law Institute’s medical-legal partnership the Health, Education, and Legal assistance Project (HELP: MLP) to continue its work providing representation to some of Chester, Pennsylvania’s poorest residents

These generous individuals and organizations join National Advisor y Council Member LESLEE SILVERMAN TABAS ’ 79, who through the HARRIETTE S. AND CHARLES L TABAS FOUNDATION provided critical funding for domestic violence programming; PROFESSORS ROBERT HAYMAN AND ALICE EAKIN, who generously established the Martin Luther King Jr Semester of Service Award; and others in validating through their gifts the role of service in legal education.

Our contributors were no less generous in supporting work in emerging areas of the law ASTRAZENECA PHARMACEUTICALS served as lead sponsor for the 2011 AstraZeneca Regulatory Compliance and Analysis Program for the Pharmaceutical Industry, enabling the law school to host compliance officers, legal professionals, and others for nearly a week of training in this growing field Moreover, thanks to a large and growing number of regional law firms, individuals, and the State of Delaware, the law school has raised more than 75% of the funds necessar y to endow a range of programming in business bankruptcy law and the new faculty position the Helen S. Balick Chair in Business Bankruptcy Law that will guide them. New major contributors in 2010-2011 included HON HELEN AND HON BERNARD BALICK; the DELAWARE STATE BAR ASSOCIATION BANKRUPTCY SECTION; GREGG GALARDI; POLSINELLI SHUGHART PC; POT TER ANDERSON & CORROON LLP; SAUL EWING LLP; the STATE OF DELAWARE; and WOMBLE CARLISLE SANDRIDGE & RICE PLLP. They joined leadership contributors PACHULSKI STANG ZIEHL & JONES LLP; YOUNG CONAWAY STARGAT T & TAYLOR LLP; Overseer EDWARD B MICHELET TI ’ 97 and a number of his partners and associates at SKADDEN ARPS SLATE MEAGHAR & FLOM; MORRIS, NICHOLS, ARSHT & TUNNELL LLP; and RICHARDS, LAYTON & FINGER , P.A.

Issues of diversity in the legal profession remained on our contributors’ minds as well In Harrisburg, RHOADS & SINON LLP, MCNEES, WALLACE & NURICK , DILWORTH PAXSON LLP, CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE, HIGHMARK INC , and others provided funding for the newly-expanded JURIST Academy. In Delaware, E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY and MORRIS JAMES LLP provided lead funding for the annual program They were joined by the DELAWARE STATE BAR ASSOCIATION MULTICULTURAL JUDGES AND LAWYERS SECTION, SKADDEN ARPS SLATE MEAGHER & FLOM LLP, and others.

Whe re We Le a r n a nd Live t he Law

We take great pride in our environs. With 1500 students and thousands of visitors coming to our two campuses ever y year, it is imperative not only that we support state of the art research, instruction, and debate in the law, but that our physical surroundings provide an environment best-suited to do so. To this end, we have undertaken aggressive efforts to improve the physical resources we provide our students, faculty, and communities

In Harrisburg, the planning of and groundbreaking for a legacy walkway, which stretches south from the law building, was only the most immediately visible of the improvements. In addition to lending our students, faculty, staff, and visitors safe, convenient passage to and from the campus ’ s parking areas, the walkway provides and will continue for years to provide an opportunity for students, alumni, parents, and others to place permanent reminders of their loved ones and their connection to the law school* Inside, newly renovated classroom space, administrative offices, and common areas provide fresh, modern spaces for work, study, and meeting

In Delaware, the renovation of Polishook Hall, funded in part by the Welfare Foundation, meant the restoration of the rotunda to its original size and shape; the addition of conference rooms and meeting spaces; new, vastly more efficient doors and windows to the outside, which will be newly landscaped; and new carpet, paint, dr ywall, and wiring throughout The landscape was also improved through the generosity of Steven P Barsamian ’75, who supported and consulted in the planting of flowers and shrubs throughout the center of campus In the main law building, a major rethinking of the Crown Court food service area resulted in a much more convenient gathering and informal dining

area for students, faculty, and staff Also adding convenience is a substantial new parking area in the space that until recently held aging tennis and basketball courts, now relocated to the northeast end of campus Students, faculty, and staff gained parking convenience and a new, greatly improved, athletic resource. Concord Hall, like Polishook, improved its efficiency through new windows and doors and its aesthetics through new paint outside and VCT tile inside.

We hope you will stop by our campuses to see how far our facilities have come in a short time and where we will be taking them in the near future.

Vincent Champion ’01

“Widener stands for academic achievement and innovation As Widener continues to achieve, it increases the value of my degree ”

Vincent Champion is unequivocal about the role Widener Law has played in his life and career: “I think Widener has given me tremendous value in my law degree I’m grateful ” It should come as no surprise, then, that the Rhoads & Sinon associate chooses to give back. When Dean Linda Ammons asked him to sit on her Harrisburg Diversity Board, he accepted the invitation In 2011, the Harrisburg campus launched its own JURIST Academy, which introduces aspiring minority law students to the skills they will need to enter law school and to the careers available to law school graduates Mr Champion was again on board, giving participants the value of his experience “It was great,” he says, “I thought it was a really innovative program. ” As if that weren’t enough, he lends the law school his financial support as well, contributing through a generous, automatic monthly credit card payment He says, “Widener stands for academic achievement and innovation. As Widener continues to achieve, it increases the value of my degree.”

“…Widener Law students and alumni practicing in the business law field should be very excited about what the Balick Chair will bring to the law school ”

In 2007, Dean Linda Ammons and the Institute of Delaware Corporate and Business Law proposed the Helen S Balick Chair in Business Bankruptcy Law, knowing that this quickly evolving area of the law was a critical one for Widener and the legal community Edward Micheletti ’97, a partner in Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates’ Wilmington office and a Widener Law Overseer, agreed. Though not a bankruptcy lawyer he’s an M&A and Corporate Governance Litigator he contributed generously He also worked to obtain a substantial firm gift from Skadden Arps as well as generous donations from a number of his colleagues there Mr Micheletti, who chairs the Board of Overseers’ Development Committee and is taking an active role in the law school’s comprehensive campaign, notes: “Supporting the Balick Chair was an easy decision to make It will further enhance the Institute of Delaware Corporate and Business Law, which is already one of the leading business law programs in the country, and the only one actually located in Delaware, the heart of corporate America Widener Law students and alumni practicing in the business law field should be very excited about what the Balick Chair will bring to the law school.”

The combined contributions proved more valuable than the sum of their parts As early supporters of the Balick Chair, Mr Micheletti, his colleagues, and their firm provided others the impetus they needed to get behind the effort Today, with the Balick Chair more than 75% funded, we want to recognize them for their early faith in this program and their willingness to back it
