This program\'s goals are to strengthen the law school network and to assist the graduates of tomorrow in becoming successful, fulfilled professionals. Your investment of time and effort plays a vital role in our continuing efforts to spread the reputation of the law school for its outstanding educational offerings and personalized student support.<\\/h4>\\r\\n<p>Your participation in the <a title=\\\"Learn more by visiting the mentoring website.\\\" href=\\\"https:\\/\\/widenerlawcw.xinspire.com\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">Widener Law Alumni Mentoring Program<\\/a> is valued and appreciated. Advances in technology and the increasingly competitive and complex nature of legal practice today affords law students fewer opportunities to establish mentoring relationships, yet mentoring relationships remain very important. They help students feel more connected to and in control of, their professional futures. Law students are very eager for the advice and guidance that you have offered to provide.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>You may have previous mentoring experience or this role may be new to you.<\\/p>\\r\\n<h5>To help get you started, we offer the following topics for suggested discussions with your new mentee:<\\/h5>\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Course selection for later years of law school<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Effective studying and exam taking habits<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; \\\"Nuts and bolts\\\" of law practice (i.e., different types of practice, how to run a law practice, and the role of good management and organizational skills)<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Importance of civility and professionalism<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Customs of law practice in your geographic region<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Steps to take during law school to assist in success on the bar exam<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Importance of passing the bar exam on the first attempt<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Career advice, including marketing for a certain type of practice or legal setting, job search tips and strategies, effect of school activities and course selection on career opportunities, resume, cover letter and interviewing advice, and establishing career goals<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Balancing professional and personal life demands<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Importance of using existing resources, including the Career Development Office<\\/li>\\r\\n<\\/ul>\\r\\n<h5>You may want to consider engaging in a number of informative activities with your mentee, such as the following:<\\/h5>\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Meeting in your office or over breakfast or lunch<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Shadowing<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Observation of court proceedings<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Taking your mentee to bar functions and meetings<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Introducing your mentee to others who may be able to offer advice or insight into the practice of law<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>&nbsp;&nbsp; Conducting mock interviews or resume critiques<\\/li>\\r\\n<\\/ul>\\r\\n<p>Remember, your mentee is a law student. Some students will have had exposure to the legal profession before law school, but most will know little of the legal world. Most likely, at the outset of a law career, they will be unfamiliar with, and possibly intimidated by, customs and language of the profession. Virtually any advice or insight into this new world is more than likely to be welcome and valuable. Please remember that the student may be shy about making contact with you. If you sense this about your mentee, please encourage him\\/her to participate fully and make special efforts to establish a comfortable relationship.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>In order to facilitate the initial contact and the ongoing mentoring relationship, you may find it helpful to inform your office personnel of the identity of your mentee and to emphasize the high importance you place on the relationship.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call &nbsp;the Career Development Office, &nbsp;717-541-3958.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p><strong>Thank you once again for your participation in the mentoring program.<\\/strong><\\/p>\",\"box_content\":\"\"}', 8, '', '', '', '', '2016-12-09 01:07:11'),

Attracting the right talent for each store, ensuring every person gets the proper training and development and ensuring we have the right management team at each store is a challenge. In addition, we are committed to providing a great place to work for every employee.&rdquo;<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Before becoming the Vice President of Human Resources, Stephanie held several other jobs at Sheetz, including serving for two years as the Human Resources Manager at the dedicated petroleum carrier for Sheetz, CLI Transport, six years as the Manager of Employee Communications, and a year as the Co-leader of the Brand Development Department, which included oversight of all Public Relations and Consumer Research. Prior to joining Sheetz, she practiced labor and employment law with the firm Andrews, Wagner &amp; Beard in Altoona.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Leaders in organizations need to be able to thoroughly analyze situations in order to solve problems.

When you hear his voicemail begin with &ldquo;Aloha,&rdquo; you know you&rsquo;re not in Harrisburg anymore. And when you consider that there is an annual average of 5,500 DUI arrests in Hawaii each year, it&rsquo;s certain McPherson&rsquo;s phone will be ringing with new clients daily.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>For McPherson, it&rsquo;s not just about representing clients who have made a mistake, it&rsquo;s also about making a difference in their lives. &ldquo;I ask clients: If you&rsquo;re digging yourself into a hole, what&rsquo;s the first thing you have to do to get out? Stop digging! The longer you dig, the more it costs you. So, we&rsquo;ll get this problem solved, and then you&rsquo;ll be able to move on with your life.&rdquo;<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>McPherson credits the legal education he received at Widener Law for a large degree of his success. He&rsquo;s been named a Super Lawyer four years in a row and was appointed by the governor of Hawaii to the ignition interlock task force. He frequently testifies before the state legislature regarding DUI laws and worked on revising the entire DUI statute for the state of Hawaii. He&rsquo;s even represented cast members from the hit TV show Lost.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;Law school teaches you how to analyze a problem and come up with a solution,&rdquo; McPherson said. &ldquo;I liked Widener in particular because it was not stuffed white shirts and a box full of chocolates. It&rsquo;s innovative, it&rsquo;s diverse, and it&rsquo;s a place where people think outside the box.&rdquo;<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>\\\"In fact, I give money to Widener Law because I believe that the school is doing such great things, not because I feel obligated to. I think people who go to Widener Law get better value for their dollar than they would at any other school.&rdquo;<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m one of the luckiest people I know,&rdquo; McPherson said. &ldquo;My dad worked for a little newspaper, my grandparents on both sides were poor, and now I have the biggest traffic practice in Hawaii.

We have your official bio on hand, but is there anything about your background\\/history you&rsquo;d like to add?<\\/strong><\\/p>\\r\\n<p>I was born in Boston, Massachusetts and grew up in Weymouth. Weymouth is on the South Shore and abuts the Fore River Shipyard (Bethlehem Steel &ndash; General Dynamics shipyard). My residence is now in York, Pennsylvania.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>It is an honor to be nominated by the President of the United States for the position of Commissioner, Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), and then be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. I have been working in the transportation sector and on transportation related matters throughout my career.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p><strong>2. Your path to law school was a non-traditional one. What informed your decision to enter the law?<\\/strong><\\/p>\\r\\n<p>It was not a matter so much as &ldquo;if&rdquo;, but &ldquo;when&rdquo;, I would go to law school. I am an engineer first, by trade. I am a graduate of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, having earned a Bachelor of Science and Marine Engineering and U.S. Coast Guard License to serve as an Officer in the United States Merchant Marine.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>I knew early on that I would become a lawyer. So, before one of my voyages, I bought two LSAT preparation books and studied the books while at sea. I came home from that trip, took a course for the LSAT and applied to law school. Then I shipped out again on a tanker. When I returned from that trip, I was notified that I had been accepted to Widener University School of Law in Pennsylvania. I had not even unpacked my sea bag from that trip&mdash; I grabbed a U-Haul trailer, loaded my sea bag and a futon bed&mdash;and I drove from Boston to Pennsylvania. It was quite a change. I remember sitting in my first class in a building situated on what seemed to be farm in central Pennsylvania reminiscing that just five days earlier I had been working on an oil tanker in the Gulf of Mexico.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>I continued to actively serve in the Merchant Marine throughout law school. During my summer and winter breaks I served aboard government pre-positioning ships in South Carolina; I worked on a tanker delivering jet fuel from Texas City, Texas to Haifa, Israel; and transported liquid-sulfur between ports along the Gulf Coast of the United States.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p><strong>3. Please tell us a little about your work prior to and during law school. Life in the Merchant Marine is probably quite foreign to most of our alumni (and the legal community at large), so any perspective you can provide would be fantastic. Any good anecdotes?<\\/strong><\\/p>\\r\\n<p>The U.S. Merchant Marine is the fleet of ships which carries imports and exports during peacetime and becomes a naval auxiliary during wartime to deliver troops and war materiel. In accordance with the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, it is necessary for the national defense that the United States shall have a merchant marine of the best equipped and most suitable types of vessels sufficient to carry the greater portion of its commerce and serve as a naval or military auxiliary in time of war or national emergency.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>As a Merchant Marine cadet, I worked in the Fore River General Dynamics shipyard preparing (&ldquo;breaking out&rdquo;) vessels for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Upon graduation from Mass Maritime, I began sailing as an officer in the U.S. Merchant Marine. As a U.S. Merchant Marine Officer from 1992 to 2002, my shipboard experience entailed serving aboard ammunition ships in and around Diego Garcia, a remote coral atoll in the Indian Ocean. I also was an officer aboard car carriers servicing Europe and the Pacific Rim, tanker vessels, and served aboard the U.S. Maritime Administration&rsquo;s U.S. Ready Reserve Force Fleet.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>With respect to my time at sea, I have some good memories serving aboard the SS JAMES LYKES during its last voyage in the mid-1990s. The SS JAMES LYKES was a general cargo vessel that was built in Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi in 1960. The ship was loaded in Charleston, South Carolina, and we carried cargo through the Strait of Gibraltar and then on to Tunis, Tunisia - Izmir, Turkey - Alexandria, Egypt - Port Said, Egypt - through the Suez Canal and onto Karachi, Pakistan. We left Pakistan and finished the voyage by anchoring the vessel off the shore of Alang, India in a place called the &ldquo;bone yard&rdquo; for scrapping. That trip was quite amazing. I was able to go ashore in every port and witness the local communities and interact with the citizens in each country. When we got to India it took three days of travel by bus, rail, and plane to get from Alang to Bombay. Just seeing the countryside, traveling through the villages and meeting with local residents was really eye-opening. On that voyage, I gave away most of my personal belongings in several of the ports-- soap, gum and toothpaste were popular items; I gave away my sneakers, shoes, belts, flashlights, batteries, baseball hats . . . I often wonder how long it will be before someone like me can again travel that freely and safely in all of those countries.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>I am also mindful of the history of the United States Merchant Marine: they provided the greatest sealift in history between the production army at home and the fighting forces scattered around the globe in World War II. One in twenty-six mariners serving aboard merchant ships in World WW II died in the line of duty, suffering a greater percentage of war-related deaths than all other U.S. services. Casualties were kept secret during the War to keep information about their success from the enemy and to attract and keep mariners at sea.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>To grasp the role of a U.S. Merchant Mariner, I would encourage folks to see the movie &ldquo;Captain Phillips&rdquo; starring Tom Hanks. This is the story of the Somali pirate attack on the MAERSK ALABAMA which occurred off the Horn of Africa in April, 2009. This is the modern day Merchant Marine that I served in as an engineer and which I represented as a lawyer. My union, the Marine Engineers&rsquo; Beneficial Association, represents the officers on that vessel. Captain Richard Phillips and some other officers aboard that ship are also graduates of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. I know these officers&mdash;and what they and the crew went through in dealing with those pirates is nothing short of incredible.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p><img src=\\\"irl:\\/\\/228\\/\\/\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" style=\\\"float: left;\\\" height=\\\"300\\\" width=\\\"400\\\" \\/><\\/p>\\r\\n<p><strong>4. The FMC&rsquo;s mission, vision, and responsibilities are laid out pretty clearly, but what do you see as your role?<\\/strong><\\/p>\\r\\n<p>The Federal Maritime Commission is comprised of five Commissioners. The Commission has several regulating roles including that of an Appellate Court, albeit in the administrative legal arena. The Commissioners have the responsibility to review and rule on decisions issued by Administrative Law Judges. Each Commissioner has an equally weighted vote and a majority of the same votes cast is the determining factor for a particular matter. One of my goals coming into this position was to move the back-log of cases along. Some cases had been in limbo for seven (7) years. I am an expediter by nature, and to me, waiting 7 years to finalize an order through a federal agency is unacceptable. That said, we are now resolving over 90% of the complaints filed with the Commission within two years. In marked contrast, the case completion for filed complaints was a little over 50%.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p><strong>5. Please tell us a little bit about your law school experience. How did Widener Law prepare you for your current role?<\\/strong><\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Widener is a great law school. The faculty is excellent and they are very accessible. In Harrisburg, there really was a focus on government services. A lot of graduates from Widener end up in public service, which is very honorable. In fact, the FMC&rsquo;s chief of staff is a fellow Widener graduate. Today, it appears that public servants get banged-around unfairly &ndash; it can be thankless. During my legal career, I have worked in the private and public sectors. I know I would not have had the opportunities described below, if it were not for Widener.<\\/p>\\r\\n<ul>\\r\\n<li>I worked for the Marine Engineers&rsquo; Beneficial Association as Deputy General Counsel, Director of Government &amp; Legislative Affairs and finally as Chief-of-Staff.<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>I was appointed under the Bush Administration to serve as the federal government&rsquo;s Director for coordinating national, state-level Alaska, and cross-border regulatory activities for a large diameter Alaska natural gas pipeline.<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>I was selected to serve on U.S. Department of State (DOS) trade delegations representing the United States on energy related matters (Presidents Bush and Obama);<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>Under the Obama Administration, I was selected to serve on State Department workshops assessing international shale gas resources, supply options, and market conditions.<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>I served as a representative to the U.S. in the annual coordination meetings between the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and Canada&rsquo;s National Energy Board (Presidents Bush and Obama);<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>Under the Bush Administration, I served a two-year term as a liaison on the Labor Advisory Committee to the U.S. Trade Representative;<\\/li>\\r\\n<li>I also served for four years as Board Member on the U.S. Department of Labor&rsquo;s Advisory Committee on Apprenticeship.<\\/li>\\r\\n<\\/ul>\\r\\n<p><strong>6. Can you comment on recent, specific issues you&rsquo;ve addressed as a Commissioner?<\\/strong><\\/p>\\r\\n<p>I was recently assigned to be part of the U.S. trade delegation for the U.S &ndash; China Transportation Forum. I am looking forward to this forum because the global maritime industry is rapidly changing.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>I am also focused on President Obama&rsquo;s National Export Initiative. The export initiative is bipartisan and simple to understand&mdash; more exports equals more jobs. The shipping industry plays a critical role in commerce&mdash;shipping is the key transportation factor for most imports and exports.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>I am equally focused on the rapidly evolving international shipping sector. The Panama Canal expansion is expected to be completed in 2015. This may or may not shift the U.S. inbound (from Asia) trade lanes.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>There is a good likelihood the expansion of the Panama Canal will shift the trade lanes for world supply of natural gas. Not long ago the United States was positioning itself to be the world&rsquo;s largest importer of natural gas. In 2006 there were approximately 50 proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) import projects in some stage of regulatory review. The U.S. was on the verge of becoming ever more reliant on the Middle East for its natural gas.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>That all changed when the independent natural gas producers in the U.S. proved that natural gas could be extracted and produced from shale basins.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Today, the U.S. has not only slashed its imports of natural gas from overseas, but we are on the verge of becoming a major competitor on the supply-side of natural gas through our LNG exports.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>The world&rsquo;s largest market for liquefied natural gas is Asia. As it stands now, South Korea and Japan are the largest importers of LNG. In the coming years, China may be added to that list.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>With the Dominion Cove Point decision issued by the Department of Energy in September, the Obama administration has now authorized 6.37 billion cubic feet of liquefied natural gas to be sold overseas. Dominion, located in Maryland, is the first East Coast export project that has been approved and it is the closest terminal to Appalachia&rsquo;s Marcellus and Utica shale formations. Previously, the Energy Department approved conditional export licenses to three Gulf Coast terminals. These terminals must secure further authorizations from other agencies including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Once the expanded Panama Canal opens, the distance to ship U.S. natural gas (and natural gas by-products) from the Gulf Coast of the United States to Asia will decrease by 9,000 miles. Only 21 of the existing global fleet of 370 LNG tankers can currently fit through the Panama Canal. None use the Canal.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>However, more than 80 % of the tankers will be able to make the passage through the Canal once the widening is complete. The U.S. will be competing with Australia, Russia, East Africa and the Middle East as a natural gas supplier for Asia. The development of U.S. natural gas resources, together with the Panama Canal Expansion, will have a transformative impact on the U.S. energy and transportation landscape, helping to improve our energy security while spurring economic development and job creation around the country.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Today, mid-2013 (as the world climbs out of the Great Recession of 2008-2009), there is overcapacity in the world&rsquo;s container fleet, thus the carrier (box) rates are at historic lows, yet more ships are still being ordered. In the United States, every port is preparing for larger ships and perhaps significant shifts in cargo volumes.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Interestingly, the new generation of vessels that are being built right now in Asia, will be too big to fit through the Panama Canal after the expansion.<\\/p>\",\"box_content\":\"<h5>WANT TO SHARE YOUR STORY?<br \\/><br \\/><\\/h5>\\r\\n<p><strong>Alumni Spotlight Contact<\\/strong><br \\/>Natasha Lewis<br \\/><a href=\\\"mailto:nclewis@widener.edu\\\">nclewis@widener.edu<\\/a><\\/p>\"}', 8, '', '', '', '', '2017-02-03 00:45:06'),

Kevin Brobson<\\/h1>\\r\\n<h4><img src=\\\"irl:\\/\\/232\\/\\/\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" style=\\\"float: left;\\\" height=\\\"435\\\" width=\\\"300\\\" \\/><\\/h4>\\r\\n<h4>Serving the people of Pennsylvania as a Judge on the Commonwealth Court<\\/h4>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;When asked to run for Commonwealth Court, the deciding factor was a strong attraction to public service, said Kevin Brobson &rsquo;95, a graduate of Widener Law&rsquo;s Harrisburg campus, of his decision to seek election to the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, adding, &ldquo;the opportunity to serve the people of Pennsylvania by making sure government at all levels works for the people of Pennsylvania compelled me to run.&rdquo;<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Elected in November 2009 to serve as one of nine judges on the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, Judge Brobson was sworn in on January 6, 2010. The Commonwealth Court is one of two statewide intermediate appellate courts and hears cases involving state and local government and regulatory agencies with a focus on subjects such as banking, land use, and labor practices. It also serves as a trial court for lawsuits filed by or against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>&ldquo;I look forward to discussing with my fellow judges ways we can make the court more open and accountable to the people,&rdquo; says Judge Brobson, adding, &ldquo;Three areas I plan on exploring are the court&rsquo;s existing rule on unreported decisions, televising court sessions, and possible expansion of the court&rsquo;s jurisdiction.&rdquo; He believes that increased transparency and communication can help Pennsylvania move past recent difficulties. &ldquo;Pennsylvania is facing a crisis of confidence in the judiciary in general, because of the despicable actions of a handful of judges. As a newly elected judge, I look forward to participating in efforts to move Pennsylvania past this crisis and to give Pennsylvanians a reason to have pride in their statewide courts generally, but specifically the Commonwealth Court.&rdquo;<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Judge Brobson&rsquo;s background as a litigator prepared him for his position on the Commonwealth Court, but his legal education prepared him to be a practicing lawyer. &ldquo;The most challenging aspect of private practice is competition&mdash;competition for jobs, competition for clients, and competition to work on the highest-profile cases. While a strong work ethic will give you a leg up, if you do not have good, basic legal skills, you cannot compete at the highest levels,&rdquo; he said of the challenges he initially faced, adding, &ldquo;Widener provided a solid legal education in an environment that fostered interaction between students and professors. This experience helped me to better compete in private practice.&rdquo;<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>He cited his experiences working with the Harrisburg Public Interest Law Clinic at Widener Law as a particularly noteworthy experience, observing, &ldquo;Working with the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, we helped craft legislation to protect children caught in the middle of bitter custody disputes.&rdquo;<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>While Judge Brobson&rsquo;s legal education helped prepare him to be a practicing attorney, his experiences as an attorney have shaped his judicial philosophy. &ldquo;For most of my career in private practice, I have represented clients who have raised questions about whether their state or local governments are complying with the law. This experience has instilled in me the strong belief that government must be just as accountable to the law as the citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,&rdquo; he said, adding, &ldquo;Each branch of government has an important and exclusive role to play in the system. To ensure that government works for all Pennsylvanians, this separation of powers must be honored.&rdquo;<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Note:<em> Some photos used courtesy of the Honorable P.

When, however, you start to think about the process of networking as nothing more than meeting people who have valuable information to share, the more manageable the process will become for you. Moreover, networking or &ldquo;meeting people&rdquo; early in your legal career will help you establish and create relationships with your colleagues and legal professionals that may pay dividends in the future.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Today, finding a job depends largely on your personal contacts. People in your network can help you learn about available opportunities before they hit the &ldquo;open market.&rdquo; You also are more likely to be offered a job if you have a personal connection to the organization. Networking in addition to the vital role it may play in helping you to secure a job, it can also be an important tool for learning more about a particular legal specialty especially during your legal career when you are still trying on different practice options. <br \\/><br \\/>The Career Development Office offers students many opportunities to network while at Widener, including the Mock Interview program and panel discussions.<\\/p>\\r\\n<h5>How to Start Networking<\\/h5>\\r\\n<p>Your contacts can include anyone you know who has anything to do with the legal profession or with some business-related connection to the areas of interest to you. This may include people you know who are lawyers or are in business, former professors, parents of friends, neighbors, friends of friends, etc. Your network can never be too large!<br \\/><br \\/>If you think you do not have any contacts, think again! Widener Law Commonwealth Alumni are remarkably supportive of our students and are a great resource to start with. Lawyers in general but Widener Law Alumni, specifically are often willing to talk with you informally about their work. The Alumni Relations Office maintains an <a href=\\\"https:\\/\\/commonwealthlawalumni.widener.edu\\/login\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">Alumni Directory<\\/a>,&nbsp;a database that makes it easy to connect with alumni in certain practice areas or regions (we hope that you will join after graduation and serve as resource to future law students.)<br \\/><br \\/>You may hesitate to make demands on your contact&rsquo;s already busy schedule. But your contact may be more enthusiastic about sharing his or her knowledge and experience than you expect. Imagine yourself in that situation ten years from now when you are more established. You might be willing to spend a little time to give some guidance to an upcoming lawyer. Moreover, if you approach networking correctly, it should not be awkward because you are not asking your contact for a job, instead you are requesting advice. Almost everyone enjoys giving advice and talking about his or her experience. <br \\/><br \\/>Networking can sometimes appear ineffective in the immediate short term but often pays dividends in the long run. Many times a contact will remember you and recommend or offer you a job in the future. Networking can help with job opportunities here and abroad. Ultimately, you will need to network to generate business and opportunities for your future employer throughout your career. Now is the ideal time to get started.<\\/p>\",\"box_content\":\"\"}', 8, '', '', '', '', '2016-11-30 01:32:11'),

The amount a student borrows depends on the lender&rsquo;s minimum and maximum amount allowed and what the student determines is necessary. These loans carry higher interest rates and have less appealing repayment options than federal loans. <br \\/><br \\/><em>We encourage all students to borrow up to their maximum federal cost of attendance with federal loans before using the bar loan option. <\\/em>&nbsp;<br \\/><br \\/>When applying for a bar loan, students should be prepared for stricter credit criteria than in the past and may want to consider applying with a co-signer. Too, with the current credit market, the number of lenders who offer bar loans has gotten smaller. Widener Law Commonwealth is aware of four lenders currently offering a bar loan program at this time. As lenders re-enter the market they will be added to our list.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>Please use the links to directly apply online with the lender.
