<p>Widener Law recently was the only law school to lend its financial support to the Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network&rsquo;s Martin Luther King Jr. Summer Internship &amp; Fellowship Program. The school this fall promised a two-year gift to the effort, which encourages and supports minority attorneys working in Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network programs across the commonwealth.<br /><br />The Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network is a client-centered organization that provides leadership, funding and support to improve the availability and quality of civil legal aid for low-income people and victims of domestic violence in the commonwealth.<br /><br />Law Dean Linda L. Ammons met with PLAN Chief Administrative Officer Cynthia G. Newcomer about the gift. In return, one summer internship slot for a Widener Law student will be guaranteed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Widener is deeply committed to civic engagement, pro bono activities, public service and diversity. These things are at the heart of our law school&rsquo;s mission,&rdquo; Ammons said. <br />&ldquo;It is my pleasure to lend Widener&rsquo;s support to an organization that assists those with nowhere else to turn. We are gratified for the opportunity to be part of such a worthwhile program."</p>
