The Institute helps students explore how government works and the roles that lawyers play in making and implementing law. For example, lawyers write legislation, represent clients before state agencies, and provide legal advice to the governor. At Widener Law Commonwealth, students may earn a certificate in Law and Government that provides hands-on experience in government law.</p>\r\n<p>The Law and Government Institute also hosts a wide variety of public programs that explore and debate issues at the top of the legislative agenda and that bring together government leaders.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<h5>Alumni Interviews<br /><br /></h5>\r\n<p><iframe width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLlsqV38Nn05IndAwgPCZGVpqyIvEfrzW9;rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p>\r\n<h5><strong>Careers in Law And Government<br /><br /></strong></h5>\r\n<p><a href=\"irl://1637//\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Governor's&nbsp;Office of General Counsel</strong></a> (PDF)</p>\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"irl://1947//\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pennsylvania Legislature</a></strong> (PDF)</p>\r\n<h5><strong>Connect with the Law and Government Institute<br /><br /></strong></h5>\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"ipl://464//W10=////\">Explore upcoming Law and Government programs and events.</a>&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"ipl://470//W10=////\">Review the latest Law and Government news stories.</a>&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"ipl://480//W10=////\">Register for Law and Government events</a></strong></p>\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"ipl://481//W10=////\">Sign Up for Law and Government email updates</a></strong></p>\r\n<p><strong>Meet <a href=\"ipl://35//WyIxNSJd////\">Professor Jill E.
