It is symbolic and descriptive of the mission and the ties of the Law School to the government of Pennsylvania.</h4>\\r\\n<p>Beyond its meaning as a way to define political territory or a union of states, the word commonwealth has a much deeper connotation and meaning for the law school. Sir Thomas Smith in 1583 wrote that &ldquo;a common wealth is called a society or common doing of a multitude of free men collected together and united by common accord and coveanauntes among themselves, for the conservation of themselves as well in peace as in warre.&rdquo; In an exhaustive study of the word&rsquo;s meaning, the Early Modern Research Group noted that it became an important concept &ldquo;to mean a form of polity that enabled the pursuit of the common good and interest of the people.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>The commonwealth of the Law School will continue to be a place where faculty, staff, alumni and students all join together for the common good of each other and for the common good of Pennsylvania and the United States.</p>\\r\\n<p>Widener Law Commonwealth has written a remarkable story of progress in Harrisburg, changing and growing to meet the needs of its students, the profession, and the Commonwealth.</p>\\r\\n<h5>1988-94</h5>\\r\\n<p>In 1988, Widener University responds to demand for a new law school in central Pennsylvania. Widener president Robert Bruce and Dean Anthony Santoro, head of the university&rsquo;s law school, then operating from a single campus in Wilmington, Delaware, commission a new 50,000-square foot building to house the Harrisburg campus.</p>\\r\\n<p>The campus quickly earns accreditation from both the American Bar Association (ABA) and full members in the Association of American Law Schools (AALS). By 1994, both the Student Services and Administration Buildings open.</p>\\r\\n<p>At the 1994 ABA Convention, Widener-Harrisburg receives the Outstanding School of the Year Award, and the Student Bar Association earns recognition as the nation&rsquo;s Outstanding SBA.</p>\\r\\n<h5>1995-2000</h5>\\r\\n<p>The Harrisburg campus continues to grow. The Law and Government Institute debuts, and the campus once again earns honors as the ABA Outstanding School of the Year.</p>\\r\\n<p>Four Harrisburg Civil Law Clinic interns win cases on behalf of clients before the United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and students in the Public Interest Clinic draft and work for the enactment of Jen and Dave&rsquo;s Law, helping provide parents with information important in custody decisions.</p>\\r\\n<h5>2001-05</h5>\\r\\n<p>In 2002, reflecting a commitment to service-centered education, Harrisburg students dedicate themselves to projects on behalf of people at the Bethesda Mission, Saint Francis Soup Kitchen, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, Project Mercy, and the Harrisburg YWCA.</p>\\r\\n<p>Widener <em>Law Journal</em> editors speak to the National Conference of Law Review Editors, and the Civil Law Clinic certifies its 500th intern.</p>\\r\\n<h5>2006-09</h5>\\r\\n<p>Linda L. Ammons becomes the Law School&rsquo;s seventh dean, and its first African American and female dean. Dean Ammons institutes multiple events focusing on professionalism, establishes the campus&rsquo; annual Dean&rsquo;s Leadership Forum on Diversity, and facilitates the new <em>Journal of Law, Economics, and Race</em>.</p>\\r\\n<p>The new Environmental Law Center opens, and funding is acquired for the Environmental Law Clinic.</p>\\r\\n<p>The <em>Law Journal</em> is honored at the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the National Conference of State Trial Judges.</p>\\r\\n<h5>2010-14</h5>\\r\\n<p>Harrisburg faculty members are recognized for their contributions to the profession by the Pennsylvania Bar Association Administrative Law Section, Pennsylvania Bar Association&rsquo;s Environmental and Energy Law Section, National Administrative Law and Judiciary Foundation, and Central Penn Business Journal. Faculty members also serve with the American Law Institute, American Bar Foundation, and American Association of Law Schools Executive Committee.</p>\\r\\n<p>The Jurist Academy, an initiative designed to inspire interest in the law among undergraduates from diverse backgrounds, launches on the Harrisburg campus.</p>\\r\\n<p>The Law and Government Institute celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2014 and is recognized by the Pennsylvania Legislature.</p>\\r\\n<p>The school partners with the Dauphin County Bar Association to launch an incubator program for new attorneys who want to start their own solo or small law firms.</p>\\r\\n<h5>2014-15</h5>\\r\\n<p>The transition begins through which Widener University School of Law will become two separately accredited law schools under Widener University. Robyn Meadows is appointed interim co-dean in Harrisburg as the search for a dean commences.</p>\\r\\n<p>On Friday, March 27, 2015, Widener University officially announces that the American Bar Association has approved its plan to separate the Delaware and Harrisburg campuses and create two independent law schools.</p>\\r\\n<p>Effective July 1, 2015, the Harrisburg campus becomes&nbsp;Widener University Commonwealth Law School, also known as Widener Law Commonwealth.&nbsp; After a national search, Christian A. Johnson, the Hugh B. Brown Presidential Endowed Chair in Law at the University of Utah&rsquo;s S.J. Quinney College of Law is&nbsp;selected to serve as Dean of the law school.</p>\\r\\n<h5>2016-20</h5>\\r\\n<p>In 2018, in recognition of their service to the country and their communities, the law school creates the Veteran and First Responder Initiatives.</p>\\r\\n<p>On Wednesday, March 11, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the law school announces the pivot to remote education for the remainder of the academic year.</p>\\r\\n<p>Effective July 1, 2020, Dean Johnson returns to the faculty and Michael Hussey is appointed interim dean.

In her work for the Coalition of Victims Assistance Organization, she helped to prevent and reduce crime and delinquency and promoted the fair treatment of crime victims and witnesses in the Pennsylvania Commonwealth.

She learned not to approach things only from the victim&rsquo;s point of view&mdash;and that made her a more effective consultant. &nbsp;Moreover, Matelevich-Hoang&rsquo;s flexible schedule as a consultant allowed her to donate her legal services to the local domestic violence shelter.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Billie Jo now works for the Gaming Control Board, but playing lawyer is just as much fun as she remembers.<\\/p>\",\"box_content\":\"<h5>WANT TO SHARE YOUR STORY?<br \\/><br \\/><\\/h5>\\r\\n<p><strong>Alumni Spotlight Contact<\\/strong><br \\/><a href=\\\"mailto:cwalumni@widener.edu\\\">cwalumni@widener.edu<\\/a><\\/p>\"}', 8, '', '', '[\n    \"1295\"\n]', '', '2017-11-22 13:21:51'),

As a participant in one of the law clinics, you will be personally responsible for maintaining case files, corresponding with clients, and representing clients in court. At the course orientation, you will be introduced to substantive material in the practice areas of each of the clinics. Cases are then assigned from the practice groups within each of the clinics.

Financial aid is processed on a first-come first-served basis. Returning students have a priority filing deadline of April 1st for the 2022-2023 academic year.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"#2\\\"></a>2. What information will I need to fill out the application? &nbsp;<br /></strong>In order to fill out the 2022-2023 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, you will need a copy of your 2020 Federal Tax Return. If you have not yet completed your tax return, you can complete the FAFSA with estimated information and your W-2s. Also, you will be asked for your driver\'s license number on most financial aid paperwork.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"3\\\"></a>3. What forms do I have to fill out? &nbsp;<br /></strong>All students who wish to apply for financial aid must complete the FAFSA. Those who wish to borrow Federal Direct Loans for the first time at Widener Law Commonwealth must complete the Financial Aid Data Form and a new Master Promissory Note. Some students, upon request, also will need to submit additional paperwork.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"4\\\"></a>4. What is the maximum amount that I can borrow? &nbsp;<br /></strong>Most students will be eligible to access $20,500.00 in a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan per year and may be eligible to borrow additional funding in the form of a Federal Direct&nbsp;<a href=\\\"ipl://282//W10=////\\\">GradPLUS Loan</a>.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"5\\\"></a>5. Will I have to make payments on prior federal loans while in school? If not, when does payment start? &nbsp;<br /></strong>No. You are not required to make payments on previous federal education loans while you are in school. When you return to school, enrolling with at least a half-time status, you will be eligible to request an in-school deferment from your lender. This deferment will only be good as long as you are enrolled . You can request the In-School Deferment form from your lender and submit it to the Registrar\'s Office when classes begin. Once you graduate, or cease to be enrolled with at least a half-time status, your repayment period on prior loans will begin again. There is no penalty to make payments on accruing interest while you are in school, although you are not required to. If you choose this option, you will only be responsible for the principal and any remaining interest when you are finished. Private loans may or may not require repayment.

Will I have to make payments on prior federal loans while in school? If not, when does payment start? &nbsp;<br /></strong>No. You are not required to make payments on previous federal education loans while you are in school. When you return to school, enrolling with at least a half-time status, you will be eligible to request an in-school deferment from your lender. This deferment will only be good as long as you are enrolled . You can request the In-School Deferment form from your lender and submit it to the Registrar\'s Office when classes begin. Once you graduate, or cease to be enrolled with at least a half-time status, your repayment period on prior loans will begin again. There is no penalty to make payments on accruing interest while you are in school, although you are not required to. If you choose this option, you will only be responsible for the principal and any remaining interest when you are finished. Private loans may or may not require repayment.

Financial aid is processed on a first-come first-served basis. Returning students have a priority filing deadline of April 1st for the 2022-2023 academic year.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"#2\\\"></a>2. What information will I need to fill out the application? &nbsp;<br /></strong>In order to fill out the 2022-2023 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, you will need a copy of your 2020 Federal Tax Return. If you have not yet completed your tax return, you can complete the FAFSA with estimated information and your W-2s. Also, you will be asked for your driver\'s license number on most financial aid paperwork.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"3\\\"></a>3. What forms do I have to fill out? &nbsp;<br /></strong>All students who wish to apply for financial aid must complete the FAFSA. Those who wish to borrow Federal Direct Loans for the first time at Widener Law Commonwealth must complete the Financial Aid Data Form and a new Master Promissory Note. Some students, upon request, also will need to submit additional paperwork.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"4\\\"></a>4. What is the maximum amount that I can borrow? &nbsp;<br /></strong>Most students will be eligible to access $20,500.00 in a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan per year and may be eligible to borrow additional funding in the form of a Federal Direct&nbsp;<a href=\\\"ipl://282//W10=////\\\">GradPLUS Loan</a>.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"5\\\"></a>5. Will I have to make payments on prior federal loans while in school? If not, when does payment start? &nbsp;<br /></strong>No. You are not required to make payments on previous federal education loans while you are in school. When you return to school, enrolling with at least a half-time status, you will be eligible to request an in-school deferment from your lender. This deferment will only be good as long as you are enrolled . You can request the In-School Deferment form from your lender and submit it to the Registrar\'s Office when classes begin. Once you graduate, or cease to be enrolled with at least a half-time status, your repayment period on prior loans will begin again. There is no penalty to make payments on accruing interest while you are in school, although you are not required to. If you choose this option, you will only be responsible for the principal and any remaining interest when you are finished. Private loans may or may not require repayment. Contact your lender for specifics.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"6\\\"></a>6. I was working full-time last year and quit to return to school: How will that affect my eligibility? &nbsp;<br /></strong>FAFSA does analyze your prior prior year&rsquo;s income and assets. You have the right to request we use your anticipated income for the current year. To file an appeal, please contact the Financial Aid Office.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"7\\\"></a>7. Do I have to complete a new FAFSA each year? &nbsp;<br /></strong>Yes. Every student wishing to apply for financial aid must complete a new FAFSA and new Institutional Data form each year. If borrowing from the <a href=\\\"ipl://282//W10=////\\\">GradPlus Loan program</a>,&nbsp;a new application must be completed every year.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"8\\\"></a>8. What is the difference between the Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford loan? &nbsp;<br /></strong>Interest does not accrue on a Federal Direct Subsidized Loan while a student is in school but interest does accrue on a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan.</p>\\r\\n<p>*The Budget Control Act of 2011 eliminated the Federal Direct Subsidized Loans for Graduate and Professional students for period of enrollment beginning on or after July 1, 2012.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"9\\\"></a>9. What scholarships are available for law students? <br /></strong>Alumni and friends of Widener Law Commonwealth have donated funds for the creation of several endowed scholarships. These scholarships are awarded annually by the Scholarship Committee based on criteria determined by the individual donors. Applications are available in the spring to current students and must be submitted to the Scholarship Committee for review. The Financial Aid Office also has researched and made available a database of over 300 scholarship opportunities. Students can visit the <a href=\\\"http://sites.widener.edu/finaidcwlaw/scholarship-applications-and-information/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Financial Aid Office on sites.widener.edu</a>&nbsp;for access to its outside scholarship database.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"10\\\"></a>10. I was awarded a scholarship from a private outside organization: Do I need to inform the Financial Aid Office?&nbsp; <br /></strong>Yes. All outside financial aid must be included as part of your financial aid package. Outside scholarships are typically forwarded to the institution you are attending to be applied toward your tuition.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"11\\\"></a>11. Does Widener Law Commonwealth have entrance and exit interviews?&nbsp; <br /></strong>Yes. Even if you have attended another institution you are required to complete entrance and exit interviews. Your entrance interview will be conducted during your Widener Law Commonwealth orientation. Exit interviews are scheduled in the spring prior to graduation. If you have additional specific questions you can always make an appointment to see a counselor.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"12\\\"></a>12. How is my estimated family contribution (EFC) calculated? <br /></strong>When a student completes and submits the FAFSA, an automatic calculation of your EFC is based on the information you provided. Your EFC is calculated as follows:<br /><br />1. Student Income (includes spouse income, if applicable) - Expenses and Allowances = Available Income<br />2. Student Assets (will include spouse assets, if applicable) - Asset Protection Allowance&nbsp;= Discretionary Net Worth<br />3. (Available Income x Assessment Rate) + (Discretionary Net Worth x Asset Conversion Rate) = Contribution from Available Income &amp; Student Assets&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />4. Contribution from Available Income &amp; Assets / Number in College in 2022-2023 = EFC</p>\\r\\n<p><br /><strong><a id=\\\"#13\\\"></a>13. What impact does my credit report have on my ability to obtain educational loan funds?</strong><br />If you have adverse credit history, you may have difficulty obtaining a Federal Direct&nbsp;<a href=\\\"ipl://282//W10=////\\\">GradPLUS Loan</a>&nbsp;to cover living expenses or tuition balances.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"#14\\\"></a>14. How, when, and where are financial aid funds disbursed? &nbsp;</strong>For any semester, financial aid cannot be disbursed until ten days before the start of classes. After funds are disbursed, the Bursar\'s Office creates refund checks for the beginning of the semester. All funds are disbursed to Widener Law Commonwealth. Please be aware that there will be a delay in processing and receipt of funds if your paperwork is not filed until August or later.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"fifteen\\\"></a>15. Is direct deposit of my refund check available? &nbsp;</strong>Yes. Direct deposit of refund checks is available through myWidener.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Log in</strong>&nbsp;(top of screen) to myWidener,&nbsp; search for \\\"Bank Information\\\" and select Bank Info for Refund\\\" (must be logged in).&nbsp; Complete the requested information and click \\\"I agree\\\" at the bottom of the page.</p>\\r\\n<p><br /><strong><a id=\\\"#16\\\"></a>16. If I do not need the full amount of the loan offered, do I have to borrow the full amount?</strong><strong><br /></strong>No. &nbsp;The Financial Aid Office always encourages students to only borrow what they need. If you have an excess of funds that are not needed, funds can be sent back to your lender at any time. Once the excess of funds requested to be returned has been processed, you will receive an award agreement showing the return and changes made. Prior to disbursements of aid, students are able to use their award agreement to reduce or reject aid for the year.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a id=\\\"#17\\\"></a>17. I am preparing to graduate and need to borrow funding to cover my bar expenses. What do I need to do in order to access these funds? </strong>&nbsp;We encourage all students to first borrow their maximum eligibility from federal funding for the academic year prior to accessing a <a href=\\\"ipl://284//W10=////\\\">Bar Loan</a>.&nbsp;Bar loans carry higher interest rates and the repayment options are not as appealing as those of the Federal Direct Loan Program. If you are unsure about what you have borrowed and if you have any remaining eligibility, please see the Financial Aid Office. <br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"#18\\\"></a>18. When should I complete my application for a bar loan? &nbsp;</strong>You should complete a Bar Loan Application form approximately a month before you wish to have the funds.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"#19\\\"></a>19. I have completed a Bar Loan Application. What happens next? &nbsp;</strong>After you have applied for a Bar Loan, your lender will send the Financial Aid Office a notification for certification. Once the certification is completed, your lender will mail a check directly to the address you have used on your application. Widener Law Commonwealth will not receive funds borrowed through a Bar Loan.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"#20\\\"></a>20. What happens to my financial aid if I withdraw or take a leave of absence during a semester? &nbsp;</strong>If you withdraw or are approved to take a leave of absence during a semester, you are considered withdrawn for financial aid purposes. Federal regulations require the Financial Aid Office to perform a <a href=\\\"ipl://297//W10=////\\\">Return of Title IV</a>&nbsp;calculation to determine your eligibility to retain federal funds based on the actual percentage of attendance during a semester. If the Financial Aid Office is required to return Title IV funds, it will be done in the <a href=\\\"ipl://297//W10=////\\\">order prescribed by law</a>.&nbsp;Institutional aid shall be retained in proportion to the percentage of tuition and fees charged. Please see the <a href=\\\"http://sites.widener.edu/bursar/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Bursar&rsquo;s Office</a> for the university&rsquo;s Complete Withdrawal Policy.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a id=\\\"#21\\\"></a>21.&nbsp;What if my financial aid is not enough to cover my tuition and living expenses? &nbsp;</strong>A student\'s cost of attendance is created using average expenses for a typical student.

As a result, many are in danger of losing the place they call home.</p>\\r\\n<p>Missy Barnes, a 4 ED student at Widener Law Commonwealth, has been able to take her legal education and directly impact the lives of people in need.</p>\\r\\n<p>This past summer, Barnes was able to secure placement in WLC&rsquo;s Central Pennsylvania Civil Law Clinics, assisting clients in danger of eviction. Prior to working in the clinic, she took part in an externship with MidPenn Legal Services, where she helped several clients complete the CARES Rent Relief program. She said that experience helped her hit the ground running to assist clients in need at the clinic, including a couple who left their home due to unsafe conditions.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I believe that people deserve to live with dignity, and if you rent a home from someone, there are basic requirements that should be met. It is not OK for the roof to leak, the HVAC system to have mold growing in it to the point it cannot be used. A dry roof over your head and heat are both fundamental housing rights,&rdquo; Barnes said.</p>\\r\\n<p>The couple reached out to the clinic through a referral from MidPenn Legal Services when their landlord refused to return their security deposit. Through her work with the couple at the clinic, Barnes was not only successful arguing their case before local court officials, she also appealed it, due to additional costs the family incurred to cover other expenses and because the landlord violated state consumer protection laws.</p>\\r\\n<p>Barnes, who is currently self-employed in the wedding industry with her husband, could understand the fear and anxiety felt by her clients.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Our profession was completely shuttered by COVID, and being an empath by nature, it was very easy to relate to the couple I helped when they were on the verge of suffering a financial loss.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Barnes credits the preparation she received in her classes at WLC for her success in helping others in the community.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;They helped me learn the structure and process of law. I had to utilize the Pennsylvania Landlord/Tenant code and felt very comfortable with understanding that code along with the notes. After six semesters of classes on campus, I was really looking forward to a hands-on learning experience in law.&rdquo;</p>\\r\\n<p>Her experience at the clinic was indeed rewarding, and she found it a great way to &lsquo;get her feet wet&rsquo; in all genres of the law, including divorce, estates, and bankruptcy. It also helped her solidify the type of legal work she wants to pursue after graduation.</p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;After teaching in an urban environment for over ten years, my experience at the clinic brought me back to my roots, giving me a different way to help clients who cannot afford to pay for an attorney, yet who are in dire need of legal assistance,&rdquo; Barnes concluded.</p>\\r\\n<p><em>Interview was conducted in Fall 2021.</em></p>\",\n    \"callouts\": [],\n    \"content_two\": \"\",\n    \"callouts_two\": [],\n    \"box_content\": \"<h5 style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\">Contact Information<br /><br /></h5>\\r\\n<p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"><strong>Admissions Office&nbsp;<br /></strong><strong>Phone:</strong> 717.541.3903<br /><strong>Fax:&nbsp;</strong>717.541.3999<br /><strong>Email:</strong>&nbsp;<a href=\\\"mailto:admitcwlaw@widener.edu\\\">admitcwlaw@widener.edu</a>&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<h5 style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"><strong><br />CONNECT WITH US!<br /><br /></strong><a title=\\\"Follow us on Facebook\\\" href=\\\"https://facebook.com/widenerlawcommonwealth\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://639//\\\" alt=\\\"Facebook Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a title=\\\"Follow us on Twitter @WidenerLawCW\\\" href=\\\"https://twitter.com/widenerlawcw\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://645//\\\" alt=\\\"Twitter Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a title=\\\"Follow us on Instagram @WidenerLawCW\\\" href=\\\"https://www.instagram.com/widenerlawcw/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://1755//\\\" alt=\\\"Instagram Logo\\\" height=\\\"30\\\" width=\\\"30\\\" /></a><br /><br /></h5>\",\n    \"nav_callout_image\": \"\",\n    \"nav_callout_overlay_color\": \"\"\n}', 8, '', '', '[]', '', '2021-10-07 14:24:56'),

Financial aid is processed on a first-come first-served basis. Returning students have a priority filing deadline of April 1st for the 2022-2023 academic year.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"#2\\\"></a>2.

Once you graduate, or cease to be enrolled with at least a half-time status, your repayment period on prior loans will begin again. There is no penalty to make payments on accruing interest while you are in school, although you are not required to. If you choose this option, you will only be responsible for the principal and any remaining interest when you are finished. Private loans may or may not require repayment. Contact your lender for specifics.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"6\\\"></a>6.

What is the difference between the Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford loan? &nbsp;<br /></strong>Interest does not accrue on a Federal Direct Subsidized Loan while a student is in school but interest does accrue on a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan.</p>\\r\\n<p>*The Budget Control Act of 2011 eliminated the Federal Direct Subsidized Loans for Graduate and Professional students for period of enrollment beginning on or after July 1, 2012.<br /><br /><strong><a id=\\\"9\\\"></a>9.

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>Law and Government Fall 2020 Information Session</h5>\\r\\n<p><strong><br /><a href=\\\"https://www.viddler.com/v/5653e8b5?secret=71566088\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Video Link</a></strong></p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a href=\\\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/13ofD_ZckcVGEMLwtfhY--denfZjt4-tK/view?usp=sharing\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Slides</a> </strong>(PDF)</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://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.
