While employed as a litigation associate at Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler LLP, Professor Widulski worked, among other assignments, on a major product licensing case. In 2008 he was one of several lawyers presented with the New York City Bar Association’s Thurgood Marshall Award for service as pro bono counsel to a person under sentence of death.
Professor Widulski has written articles on constitutional law, jurisprudence, law and literature, and political philosophy. He has written posts on domestic and international criminal law for Haub Law’s Criminal Justice blog, and he serves on the editorial board of Lex Naturalis, a journal of natural law jurisprudence.
