We are Counting on You... 

Jan 23, 2012
...to help us increase our alumni participation rate in the annual fund this year! It is important for the law school to demonstrate a strong participation rate because it shows the world that our graduates are proud of their law degree and want to give back to the institution that shaped who they are today. Participation is what counts for our "Raise the Rate, Just Participate!" initiative, which means your gift is counted, no matter the size. Show your support today! Be one of our 1,371 donors:  make your online donation by visiting http://alumni.widener.edu/giving.

New Book by Graduate Includes Look at the Early Years

“Five hundred students were milling about in front of the school. It was summer. The ABA was in session. Our delegation was there. I was waiting with Dean Weeks in his office. The call came through. It was for me from Mr. Maddox. I was the first to know that the Board voted to affiliate with Widener. Word was sent to the ABA and their House of Delegates voted to give us provisional approval. I told Dean Weeks and then walked outside to tell the students,” writes Thomas F. Liotti ’76 of efforts to get ABA accreditation for the Delaware Law School in his new autobiographical book, The Secret Adoption.

The book features a pair of chapters focusing on Liotti’s personal reflections on his time at the fledgling law school. “For me, Delaware Law School, at least in earliest stages, was a beacon of hope for those who had a dream,” says Liotti. “We had a lot of people who really, really wanted to be lawyers,” he said of his classmates, adding, “People went out of their way to work at becoming lawyers.” To read the full story click here.

Incoming Philadelphia Bar Association chancellor is a Widener Law alumnus

Widener Law Dean Linda L. Ammons congratulated alumnus John E. Savoth on his status as the incoming chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association. Savoth gave his inaugural address Dec. 6 at the association’s annual meeting luncheon in the grand ballroom of the Hyatt at The Bellevue in Philadelphia.

Ammons attended the event, at which Savoth, a 1985 graduate of Widener Law’s Delaware campus, outlined three initiatives for his year as the association’s leader under the theme “People Make the Difference.”
