Widener Law Commonwealth Faculty and Adjunct Guide

This guide is specific to resources available on the Harrisburg campus.

Librarian Guest Lectures

The reference librarians can be called upon to make classroom presentations on bibliographic resources or to provide selected subject bibliographies. 

Each year the reference librarians team up with the professors for Legal Methods.  They conduct in-class training and provide additional research training time to coincide with the basic techniques of legal analysis, writing and research.

If you would like to have a reference librarian present in-class or provide training outside of class, please contact us.
