Message from the Dean

Message from the Dean

I am enthusiastically looking forward to my second full year as dean of the Pepperdine University School of Law. What a privilege it is to serve in this capacity! I know so much more than I did a year ago about the law school and all of its extraordinary students and committed alumni and friends.


Message from the Dean

Our work is characterized by constant care for the academic, personal, and spiritual needs of
our students.


The Mark of a Great Law School

The mark of a great law school is that the teaching commitment of its faculty is informed by robust and creative scholarly research and writings.


First Principles

Whether in the law, in one’s faith, or in one’s personal and professional conduct, the ever-present construct of first principles must guide us in life’s many endeavors.
