Letters of Recommendation: Law School Application Tips | Widener Law Commonwealth in Harrisburg, PA

Application Tips with Dean Benfield

Widener Law Commonwealth's Former Associate Dean of Admissions and Administration discusses the importance of letters of recommendation.

Two letters of recommendation are required by Widener Law Commonwealth. They are very helpful and provide the admissions committee with additional information about the applicant. For someone who is currently a student, at least one letter should be an academic letter of recommendation from a faculty member. Letters should be from someone who knows you and knows you well. Letters from people who can assess your character, your work ethic, your ability to overcome obstacles can be helpful. Be sure to talk with the letter writer and ask them if they are comfortable and willing to write you a good letter of recommendation. If they seem reluctant, you may want to ask someone else.
