From its beautiful campus to its prime location given all of the major surrounding cities, I knew instantly this would be a great fit. The comforts of a small school environment has allowed unique professor-student relationships, which I have really appreciated in my short time at Delaware Law. The Delaware Law School family is very welcoming and helpful - which helps me to be a successful 1L!&rdquo;</p>\r\n<hr />\r\n<p><strong><img style=\"float: right;\" src=\"irl://2457//\" alt=\"Amanda Huff\" width=\"30%\" />Amanda Huff</strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:amhuff@widener.edu\">amhuff@widener.edu</a><br />Third Year, Full-Time Division</p>\r\n<p><strong>Hometown</strong></p>\r\n<p>Colora, MD</p>\r\n<p><strong>Undergraduate Education</strong></p>\r\n<p>Seton Hall University</p>\r\n<p>Criminal Justice, Sociology</p>\r\n<p>Amanda is a member of Phi Alpha Delta and has served with the Juvenile Justice Advisory Group for the state of Delaware and as a Court Appointed Special Advocate of Cecil County, Maryland.

It was very easy to get intimidated about law school by watching tv shows and coming to Delaware Law has completely broken any preconceived notions. My classmates and professors have been nothing shy of helpful, engaged, and informative. Also, being in a small state it is easy to find connections between people around you, which has been very beneficial in gaining employment throughout law school.&rdquo;</p>\r\n<hr />\r\n<p><strong><img style=\"float: right;\" src=\"irl://2447//\" alt=\"Maria Kontis\" width=\"30%\" />Maria Kontis</strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:\tmkontis@widener.edu\">mkontis@widener.edu</a><br />Second Year, Full-Time Division</p>\r\n<p><strong>Hometown</strong></p>\r\n<p>Wilmington, DE</p>\r\n<p><strong>Undergraduate Education</strong></p>\r\n<p>University of Delaware</p>\r\n<p>Neuroscience</p>\r\n<p>Maria has an interest in medical malpractice and personal injury.

The professors are accessible and always willing to meet if there are any questions about the material. The students are encouraging. When I first started law school, I thought that the professors were going to be distant and the students would be so competitive that I would not foster friendships. However, I am happy to say that was never the case at Delaware Law. While the students are competitive, I have found that this environment created a strong bond as everyone goes through a similar struggle throughout law school. This environment and sense of community are the traits that make me proud to be a student at Delaware Law.&rdquo;</p>\r\n<hr />\r\n<p><img style=\"float: right;\" src=\"irl://1884//\" alt=\"\" width=\"30%\" /><strong>Alberto Longo</strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:amlongo@widener.edu\">amlongo@widener.edu</a><br />Third Year, Full-Time Division</p>\r\n<p><strong>Hometown</strong></p>\r\n<p>Easton, PA</p>\r\n<p><strong>Undergraduate Education</strong></p>\r\n<p>Desales University</p>\r\n<p>Criminal Justice, Prelaw</p>\r\n<p>Alberto is active in the&nbsp;<span style=\"font-size: small;\">Alternative Dispute Resolution Society and with the Student Bar Association and Phi Alpha Delta.

Professors are open to answer any questions you may have about the subject matter being taught. I chose Delaware Law school due to its location in the Corporate Capital of the world and due to students having the opportunity to interact with professors outside the classroom.\"</p>\r\n<hr />\r\n<p><img style=\"float: right;\" src=\"irl://2455//\" alt=\"Olivia\" width=\"30%\" /><strong>Olivia Mendler</strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:\toemendler@widener.edu\">oemendler@widener.edu</a><br />Third Year, Full-Time Regular Division</p>\r\n<p><strong>Hometown</strong></p>\r\n<p>Williamsport, PA</p>\r\n<p><strong>Undergraduate Education</strong></p>\r\n<p>Lycoming College</p>\r\n<p>Criminal Justice</p>\r\n<p>Olivia is a member of the Moot Court Honor Society and has worked with or volunteered for the Lycoming County Public Defender's Office, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, and the firm of Doroshow, Pasquale, Krawitz, &amp; Bhaya.</p>\r\n<p><strong>What does Brooke&nbsp;like most about Delaware Law?</strong></p>\r\n<p>\"I come from a small town, Williamsport, located in Central PA. Additionally, I attended a small school in Williamsport for undergrad, similar to the size of Delaware Law. I knew the second I visited Delaware Law School that this was going to be my home for the next 3 years, because of its size and its professor/student ratio. Delaware Law has exceeded my expectations. The professors are beyond helpful and truly want what's best for their students. The student body is great and I have met some of the most incredible friends I know will be lifelong best friends. I have had the greatest experience here.\"</p>\r\n<hr />\r\n<p><strong><img style=\"float: right;\" src=\"irl://2458//\" alt=\"David White\" width=\"30%\" />David White</strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:dtwhite@widener.edu\">dtwhite@widener.edu</a><br />Third Year, Part-Time Extended Division</p>\r\n<p><strong>Hometown</strong></p>\r\n<p>High Point, NC</p>\r\n<p><strong>Undergraduate Education</strong></p>\r\n<p>University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill</p>\r\n<p>Political Science; Exercie and Sport Science</p>\r\n<p>David has an interest in Constitutional and Criminal Law, and he serves on the Delaware Journal of Corporate Law.
