Caruso School of Law Dinner 2024 Highlights
Over 700 alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends throughout the Caruso School of Law community attended to celebrate Caruso Law’s past successes and get a glimpse of the exciting future ahead. We were privileged to welcome Justice Amy Coney Barrett of the Supreme Court of the United States as our speaker for the evening, in conversation with Paul Caron, the Duane and Kelly Roberts Dean of the Caruso School of Law, and professors Babette Boliek and Trey Childress exploring this year's theme "Freedom in Truth".
“Lawyers and professors, as officers of the court, have an institutional duty to lead critical conversations. When issues arise, it’s essential for lawyers to step forward and guide these discussions, setting a tone that fosters unity rather than division. A lawyer’s role should be to lead conversations around reform and problem-solving in a way that brings people together, inspiring a desire for solutions rather than fueling bitterness. Additionally, lawyers should champion constructive criticism and work to preserve institutions. I believe Pepperdine and similar institutions are cultivating students to embrace that responsibility.”
