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, and constitutional law (particularly freedom of religion).
Professor Scarberry will be on sabbatical for Fall 2006, and will teach Business Reorganization in Bankruptcy, and Jurisprudence in Spring 2007. Except when it is time to grade bluebooks, he is amazed that law teachers actually are paid to teach (rather than having to pay for the privilege).
