Following her 1L year at Delaware Law, she was a judicial intern for the Criminal Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia. She has also clerked for the law firm of Kimmel, Carter, Roman, Peltz, and O'Neill.</p>\r\n<p><strong>What does Amanda like most about Delaware Law?</strong></p>\r\n<p>&ldquo;I love the size of the school and the classes. 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=\"https://delawarelaw.widener.edu/files/resources/mariakontis300x350px.jpg\" 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=\"https://delawarelaw.widener.edu/files/resources/tpaulmarkovits300x350px.jpg\" alt=\"Paul\" width=\"30%\" /><strong>T.

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=\"https://delawarelaw.widener.edu/files/resources/taramcmanamy300x350px.jpg\" alt=\"Tara\" width=\"30%\" /><strong>Tara McManamy</strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:\t\ttdmcmanamy@widener.edu\">tdmcmanamy@widener.edu</a><br />Third Year, Full-Time Regular Division</p>\r\n<p><strong>Hometown</strong></p>\r\n<p>Ocean City, New Jersey</p>\r\n<p><strong>Undergraduate Education</strong></p>\r\n<p>Stockton University</p>\r\n<p>Political Science with a concentration in pre-law and minor in writing</p>\r\n<p>Tara is a Justice for the Delaware Law School chapter of the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity and served as a Wills for Heroes Student Volunteer in the Spring 2019 semester.

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=\"https://delawarelaw.widener.edu/files/resources/davidwhite300x350px.jpg\" 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; Exercise 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.
