Chathamite Timothy Condus Earns JD

When the Harrisburg campus if Widerner Law held their spring commencement on May 20, Chatham native Timothy Condus was among the 124 who received their diplomas.

Condus earned his juris doctorate as part of the 21st graduating class to come out of Widener Law's Harrisburg campus.

Harrisburg campus alumnus William N. Nettles '92, U.S. attorney for the district of South Carolina, was the featured speaker at the graduation, held at the Forum in Harrisburg's Capitol Complex. He told the graduates one of the best things about being a lawyer is getting to help people every day.

"If your clients know you care about them you will be a successful lawyer," Nettles said. "And if you get a reputation that you do it with civility and dignity, then you will also earn the respect of the bar."
