2026 Highlights

The annual Pepperdine Caruso School of Law Dinner was a resounding success, bringing together alumni, students, faculty, and supporters on Saturday, September 26, 2026, in Beverly Hills, California. Guided by this year’s theme, “For Greater Purpose,” the evening was a powerful testament to the Law School’s enduring commitment to academic excellence, fellowship, and Christian values.

The highlight of the evening was an engaging conversation with Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Justice Alito shared compelling insights on faith, law, and legal education, providing an inspiring message for all in attendance.

The event also offered a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the continued momentum of Pepperdine Caruso Law, including its recognition among the nation’s Top 50 law schools. Energized by the evening's spirit of inspiration and purpose, our community looks forward to building on these achievements in the year ahead.
