Widener Law Harrisburg congratulates Professor Juliet M. Moringiello on two recent high-profile professional accomplishments. 
Moringiello was elected in March to membership in the prestigious American College of Commercial Finance Lawyers. The college describes itself as a professional organization dedicated to promoting the field of commercial finance law through education, legislative reform and the recognition of distinguished practitioners, jurists and academics.
College fellows nominate new members. Nominees must be lawyers, academics or jurists who have achieved preeminence in commercial finance law and made repeated, substantial contributions to the promotion of learning and scholarship in commercial financial law through teaching, lecturing, publishing and continuing legal education.
Moringiello was also appointed recently as a uniform law commissioner for Pennsylvania. The Uniform Law Commission, also known as the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, provides states with nonpartisan, well-conceived and well-drafted legislation that brings clarity and stability to critical areas of state statutory law. She has taught Uniform Commercial Code courses since she began in legal education and she has been involved in the enactment of several Uniform Law Commission projects in Pennsylvania.
Moringiello is one of the country’s leading municipal bankruptcy scholars. She has been a frequent commentator in the national and international news media about Detroit’s historic bankruptcy and the dismissed bankruptcy filing and subsequent state receivership of Harrisburg. She is a versatile scholar who writes in the areas of bankruptcy, secured credit and electronic commerce, and her articles have been published or are forthcoming in some of the nation’s top law reviews. She served as the Robert M. Zinman Resident Scholar at the American Bankruptcy Institute in 2010.  At Widener Law Harrisburg, Moringiello teaches property, bankruptcy, sales, secured transactions, and payment systems, and she has taught seminars on cities in crisis, the mortgage crisis, and electronic commerce. The class of 2014 honored her with the Outstanding Faculty Award for excellence in teaching, and she has received the Douglas E. Ray Excellence in Faculty Scholarship Award twice.
