Meet the Faculty

Mark S. Scarberry, J.D.
Professor of Law

Office: School of Law (SOL)
E-mail: mark.scarberry@pepperdine.edu

• J.D., University of California, Los Angeles, 1978
• A.B., Occidental College, 1975, magna cum laude

Professor Scarberry decided during his first year at UCLA Law School that he wanted to teach law. He graduated first in his class and then joined the Pepperdine law faculty in 1982 after four years' practice experience with Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue, Los Angeles. His major academic interests are bankruptcy (particularly Chapter 11 business reorganization), contracts, legal philosophy, election law, and constitutional law (particularly freedom of religion). Except when it is time to grade exams, he is amazed that law teachers actually are paid to teach (rather than having to pay for the privilege).
