Student Handbook

August 24, 2009

Pepperdine Law School is an extraordinary place, where great things are being done with even greater contributions to the law and to our country just around the corner.

At our best, we are ever disciplining and training ourselves in what, at its best, is a caring profession. The mission of Pepperdine calls upon all of us in the community � students, faculty, administrators and staff, and friends of the law school - to be of genuine service in building and encouraging. At our best, we will be effectively trained instruments of peace, as the wonderful prayer of St. Francis captured and conveyed.

I strive to listen, to learn, and to help everyone in the Pepperdine Law School family define dreams and achieve aspirations. I ask for your help, your counsel, and your prayers as I do my best in the months and years to come.

Many blessings to each of you.
