Depending on their level of certification, volunteers are taught to correctly identify filing status, and to prepare returns with wages, tips, interest, dividends, unearned income, social security and retirement income, and self-employed income for Schedule C-EZ. While VITA volunteers are not required to train to fill out Schedules C, D, and E, certain sites may be able to help with such returns. Students start by talking to the client and finding out what his or her particular situation is.

While VITA volunteers are not required to train to fill out Schedules C, D, and E, certain sites may be able to help with such returns.

The <em>Widener Commonwealth Law Review</em>&nbsp;is published two times annually with one issue per year dedicated to the &ldquo;Annual Survey of Pennsylvania Administrative Law,&rdquo; which examines the administrative law decisions of Pennsylvania&rsquo;s Supreme Court and Commonwealth Court, one of two intermediate appellate courts. The annual survey contributes to the Law School&rsquo;s mission of providing critical resources to the state capital by publishing student-written case analyses of recent administrative law decisions.</p>\\r\\n<h5>Annual Symposium</h5>\\r\\n<p>Each year, the <em>Widener Commonwealth Law Review</em>&nbsp;sponsors a symposium that brings together leading scholars, professors, judges, and practitioners to discuss history, advancements, and emerging issues related to a selected topic. Examples include Internet expression, sustainable energy, 50th anniversary of the National Conference of State Trial Judges, and Judicial Division of the American Bar Association.</p>\\r\\n<p>This annual regional event for judges, lawyers, and legal professionals provides credits for continuing legal education in Pennsylvania.</p>\\r\\n<h5>A Message to Authors</h5>\\r\\n<p>The<em> Widener Commonwealth Law Review</em>&nbsp;is dedicated to the publication of a professional and scholarly law review.</p>\\r\\n<p>Staff members are committed to providing courteous, timely, and excellent service. We maintain a close-working relationship with each author throughout the publication process, and we pride ourselves on maintaining the author\'s voice in every published article.

All of our published articles are made accessible through WESTLAW&reg; and LEXIS&reg;, and titles of all published articles appear in the Current Index to Legal Periodicals.</p>\\r\\n<h2><a id=\\\"article\\\"></a>Article Submissions</h2>\\r\\n<p>Authors interested in being considered for publication should submit their manuscripts and all related correspondence to the address below. &nbsp;Submissions will not be returned.</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Editor-in-Chief</strong><br />Widener Commonwealth Law Review<br />Widener Law Commonwealth<br />3800 Vartan Way<br />Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17110</p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Email:</strong> <a href=\\\"mailto:cwlawrev@widener.edu\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">cwlawrev@widener.edu</a></p>\\r\\n<h5>Editorial Review Process</h5>\\r\\n<p>The business/external managing editor initially reviews all articles submitted for possible publication. This initial review involves not only a careful analysis of the article but also an examination of the author\'s background. The editor makes recommendations to the<em>&nbsp;Law Review\'s&nbsp;</em>executive committee and the committee conducts a meticulous, independent review of the article and typically determines, within three business days, whether the <em>Law Review&nbsp;</em>will extend an offer of publication.</p>\\r\\n<p>Upon a favorable decision by the committee, the editor personally contacts the author &nbsp;and thereafter sends the author a written Offer of Publication along with an Author\'s License Agreement. &nbsp;Following the <em>Law Review\'s&nbsp;</em>receipt of the fully executed License Agreement and an electronic copy of the article on diskette or by email submission, the editing process begins.</p>\\r\\n<p>There is no specific time frame to submit. &nbsp;Articles are accepted for consideration on a rolling basis. We encourage authors to submit as soon as their articles are ready for consideration.</p>\\r\\n<h5>Editing Process</h5>\\r\\n<p>The goal of the editing process is to perfect the author\'s vision and not to replace it with our own. The voice of the author is her or his creation and not the <em>Law Review\'s.</em> Another important goal is to ensure that the text and footnotes of the article conform to the most recent edition of <em>The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation.</em> Pursuant to this goal, the article undergoes the <em>Law Review\'s&nbsp;</em>rigorous, multi-step editing process.</p>\\r\\n<p>The article is preliminarily reviewed by the internal managing editor who assigns it to an internal editor. The internal editor oversees much of the editing process, beginning with a source collection. In the event that any sources used by the author are not available through Widener University\'s Law Library, the author will be asked to provide copies of these sources.</p>\\r\\n<p>Next, the article undergoes a substantive edit, a citation edit, a quote check, and a grammar edit. Throughout each phase of this process, the article is first examined by a staff member and then reexamined by an internal editor. Once this stage is satisfactorily completed, the article undergoes an intensive edit by an assigned administrative board member, followed by a similar edit by the executive committee. The editor-in-chief conducts a final summary review, after which the article is forwarded to the author for his or her final approval.</p>\\r\\n<p>Following the incorporation of the author\'s final suggestions, if any, the article is sent to the <em>Law Review\'s&nbsp;</em>publisher.</p>\\r\\n<p>The editor-in-chief, with assistance from the managing editors, reviews the proof edition of the <em>Law Review,</em> and cosmetic corrections are made if and where necessary. Thereafter, the issue of the <em>Law Review&nbsp;</em>is printed, bound, and distributed to all subscribers.</p>\\r\\n<h5>Why publish with the <em>Widener Commonwealth Law&nbsp; Review</em>?</h5>\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The<em> Law Review</em> is committed to protecting the author\'s vision and voice.</li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The <em>Law Review&nbsp;</em>is committed to giving the author complete editorial control.</li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The <em>Law Review&nbsp;</em>is dedicated to providing a professional law review publication.</li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The <em>Law Review&nbsp;</em>is committed to meeting deadlines.</li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Editors of the <em>Law Review&nbsp;</em>pay the utmost attention to detail.</li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Editors of the <em>Law Review&nbsp;</em>are selected based on their academic excellence and paramount legal writing ability.</li>\\r\\n</ul>\\r\\n<h5>Who has published with the<em> Law Review</em>?</h5>\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Geoffrey C.

Depending on their level of certification, volunteers are taught to correctly identify filing status, and to prepare returns with wages, tips, interest, dividends, unearned income, social security and retirement income, and self-employed income for Schedule C-EZ. While VITA volunteers are not required to train to fill out Schedules C, D, and E, certain sites may be able to help with such returns. Students start by talking to the client and finding out what his or her particular situation is. This helps the student develop interview skills while providing the taxpayer with the appropriate services for his or her needs.</p>\\r\\n<h5><a id=\\\"wlc\\\"></a>Women&rsquo;s Law Caucus</h5>\\r\\n<p>The purpose of the Women&rsquo;s Law Caucus (&ldquo;WLC&rdquo;) is to promote full and equal participation of women in the law school environment, legal community, and justice system, and to promote an understanding of the wide spectrum of legal issues that affect women in the legal community and law school environment.</p>\\r\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\",\n    \"callouts\": [],\n    \"content_two\": \"\",\n    \"callouts_two\": [],\n    \"box_content\": \"<h5>Contact Information<br /><br /></h5>\\r\\n<p><strong>Randi Teplitz<br /></strong>Assistant Dean of Students<strong><br />Phone: </strong>717.541.3952<strong><br />Email:&nbsp;</strong><a href=\\\"mailto:rbteplitz@widener.edu\\\">rbteplitz@widener.edu</a></p>\",\n    \"nav_callout_image\": \"\",\n    \"nav_callout_overlay_color\": \"\"\n}', 8, '', '', '[\n    \"979\"\n]', '', '2021-02-23 04:45:07'),

Choose to support an area of the law school that holds personal or professional significance for you - from the Commonwealth Law Fund, which assists all areas of campus, to our Student Scholarship Fund, which bolsters financial assistance - or give the gift of your time by mentoring, volunteering, or hosting an event. The choice is yours.</h4>\\r\\n<h5>Commonwealth Law Fund</h5>\\r\\n<p>Your gift to this important fund provides essential, unrestricted dollars for our overall operating budget. Tuition alone does not cover the cost of a high-quality legal education. Gifts to the annual fund support tuition assistance, student organizations, special project opportunities, and enhanced program vibrancy.</p>\\r\\n<h5>Endowed Scholarships</h5>\\r\\n<p>Scholarships help support students with tuition costs. In today&rsquo;s fragile economic climate, student scholarships are more important than ever. You may contribute to an existing scholarship or endow a new one&mdash;focusing on your particular interests or honoring someone special in your life.</p>\\r\\n<h5>Planned Giving</h5>\\r\\n<p>Making Commonwealth Law part of your estate plan benefits the law school and, depending on your choices, may also carry significant benefits for you and your heirs, including reliable income and tax considerations. We are happy to help you to create a customized planned giving package that accomplishes your specific intent.</p>\\r\\n<h5>Student Philanthropy</h5>\\r\\n<p>We are especially grateful for our students who choose to make a gift while still attending law school. These gifts help support the annual fund as well as educate future alumni about the importance of giving back to their alma mater.</p>\\r\\n<h5>Commemorative Pavers</h5>\\r\\n<p>Give a gift that lasts a lifetime&mdash;and well beyond. Honor a loved one or commemorate a special event such as a graduation, anniversary, or achievement with an engraved, personalized paver permanently displayed in the heart of campus. &nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<h5>Specific Programs</h5>\\r\\n<p>Gifts can be made to Widener Law Commonwealth\'s unique signature programs: The Law and Government Institute, The Environmental Law and Sustainability Center, or The Business Advising Program, as well the Central Pennsylvania Civil Law Clinics, or any other program directly benefitting students. If the program you want to contribute to is not listed, select Other and write it in.&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p><a class=\\\"primary-btn\\\" href=\\\"https://host.nxt.blackbaud.com/donor-form/?svcid=renxt&amp;formId=fcf5055b-2990-401c-b22b-38da800f087d&amp;envid=p-QRmlz6XUIkCWRBZRt4seyQ\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><span class=\\\"btn-span\\\">Make Your Gift Today</span></a></p>\",\n    \"callouts\": [],\n    \"content_two\": \"\",\n    \"callouts_two\": [],\n    \"box_content\": \"<h5>CONTACT INFORMATION<br /><br /></h5>\\r\\n<p><strong>Development and Alumni Engagement Office</strong><br /><strong>Phone:&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;717.541.3974<br /><strong>Email:</strong>&nbsp;<a href=\\\"mailto:AlumniCWLaw@widener.edu\\\">AlumniCWLaw@widener.edu</a></p>\",\n    \"nav_callout_image\": \"\",\n    \"nav_callout_overlay_color\": \"\"\n}', 8, '', '', '[]', '', '2021-03-10 13:18:25'),

The Center creates opportunities to engage our students in the practical problems faced by government and the practicing bar, including:&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li><a href=\\\"ipl://397//W10=////\\\">Environmental Law Certificate</a>, an ideal credential for those interested in pursuing environmentally focused legal careers</li>\\r\\n<li>Distinguished Speaker Series</li>\\r\\n<li>Environmentally focused externships</li>\\r\\n<li><a href=\\\"ipl://217//W10=////ZWxwcw==\\\">Environmental Law and Policy Society</a></li>\\r\\n<li><a href=\\\"https://widenerenvironment.wordpress.com/students/ordinances/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Draft sustainability ordinances for local governments</a></li>\\r\\n<li><a href=\\\"https://widenerenvironment.wordpress.com/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Environmental Law and Sustainability Center website and blog</a></li>\\r\\n<li><a href=\\\"https://widenerenvironment.wordpress.com/home/white-papers/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">White papers and articles coauthored with students</a></li>\\r\\n<li>Student preparation of a quarterly newsletter for the Pennsylvania Bar Association Environmental and Energy Law Section</li>\\r\\n<li><a href=\\\"ipl://544//W10=////\\\">Outdoor Recreation Opportunities</a></li>\\r\\n</ul>\\r\\n<h5>Areas of Focus</h5>\\r\\n<p>The Environmental Law and Sustainability Center takes on some of the most complex and critical issues our society faces today.&nbsp;The Center&rsquo;s credo is &ldquo;Law for Sustainability.&rdquo; The Center attempts to answer the question of how law can and should be used to achieve sustainability. The urgency of the task before us requires this kind of engaged effort: providing information, tools, skills, and ideas that policy makers, practicing lawyers, law students, and future lawyers can use to address the challenges and opportunities of sustainability.</p>\\r\\n<p>Sustainability does not have an adequate or supportive legal foundation, in spite of the many environmental and natural resources laws that exist. If we are to make significant progress toward a sustainable society, we need to develop and implement new or modified laws and legal institutions. Government, business, and nongovernmental organizations increasingly demand legal work that addresses sustainable development issues.</p>\\r\\n<h5>LEADERSHIP</h5>\\r\\n<p><a href=\\\"ipl://35//WyIxMSJd////\\\">Professor John Dernbach</a> is the&nbsp;director of the Environmental Law and Sustainability Center. His work on sustainable development, climate change, and environmental law is known throughout the world.</p>\\r\\n<p><a href=\\\"ipl://35//WyIxMCJd////\\\">Scholar-in-residence Donald Brown</a> has an international reputation on the application of ethical considerations to climate change law and policy. Brown maintains the <a href=\\\"http://ethicsandclimate.org/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Ethics and Climate blog</a>.</p>\\r\\n<p>The Center&rsquo;s work also includes teaching by other respected full-time and part-time professors. No other law school has this combination of sustainability and climate change experience.&nbsp;The Center is known nationally and internationally for its scholarship and advocacy on sustainable development and climate change.</p>\\r\\n<h5>Social Media</h5>\\r\\n<p>Follow ELSC on Twitter <a href=\\\"https://twitter.com/envirolawcenter\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">@environlawcenter</a>.</p>\\r\\n<p>Like the <a href=\\\"https://www.facebook.com/CommonwealthLawELSC/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">ELSC Facebook page</a>.</p>\\r\\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\\r\\n<p><a href=\\\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/fitopaldi/3538517705/in/photolist-6oFQ2X-odnThT-2Bz8Qq-gkrSgv-KAd2o-8ut3Xv-6MKM8u-9QiDpP-83BHDw-euAtg-i3mYq-3cxqH-4WhpRF-a5NbPg-5cp4k5-h6ywUZ-domPFR-dDFK4z-8feBRB-crFyeS-cTt51u-BnWSR-fwgf5W-crG2mL-nJ4nEr-26vX3-cTt64j-6tc6si-adV3Na-BnWSN-cTt6yW-8uLW9W-cYYZEG-oRBxBK-fSoKQn-cyGuGA-k7b53-5mgg99-8xknD2-ivnjTx-58dVjJ-fxJL2k-gWmiNh-pcVLhf-byxZ7s-8hvFJT-4Whqpi-e8Zu1j-4gxGGb-eFmY3u\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">photo credit</a>&nbsp;</p>\",\n    \"box_content\": \"<h5><a title=\\\"Support ELSC by making a donation.\\\" href=\\\"https://commonwealthlawalumni.widener.edu/donate\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\"><img src=\\\"irl://1556//\\\" alt=\\\"icon that reads Donate to ELSC\\\" style=\\\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\\\" width=\\\"195\\\" /><br /></a></h5>\\r\\n<hr />\\r\\n<h5>&nbsp;<br />Related Links<br /><br /></h5>\\r\\n<p><strong><a href=\\\"ipl://397//W10=////\\\">Environmental Law Certificate Program</a></strong></p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a href=\\\"ipl://35//WyIxMSJd////\\\">Professor John Dernbach, ELSC Director</a></strong></p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a href=\\\"https://widenerenvironment.wordpress.com/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">ELSC Website and Blog</a></strong></p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a href=\\\"https://widenerenvironment.wordpress.com/environmental-law/art-1-sec-27-resources/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Pennsylvania Constitution Article I, &sect; 27 Resources</a></strong></p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a href=\\\"http://www.ethicsandclimate.org\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">Donald Brown\'s Ethics and Climate Blog</a></strong></p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a href=\\\"ipl://465//W10=////\\\">Upcoming ELSC Events</a></strong></p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a href=\\\"ipl://471//W10=////\\\">ELSC News</a></strong></p>\\r\\n<p><strong><a href=\\\"ipl://544//W10=////\\\">Outdoor Recreation Opportunities</a></strong></p>\"\n}', 8, '', '', '[\n    \"1556\"\n]', '', '2020-12-16 17:50:53'),
