24th Annual Byrne Judicial Clerkship Institute
We invite you to join us for Pepperdine's 24th Annual Wm. Matthew Byrne, Jr. Judicial Clerkship Institute, a program dedicated to promoting justice and the federal judiciary through training federal judicial law clerks. Every spring, federal judges and professors from across the country gather at Pepperdine and generously dedicate their time to providing current and future federal law clerks with the skills they need to become effective law clerks. The wisdom they share during the program is invaluable.
The Wm. Matthew Byrne, Jr. Judicial Clerkship Institute will be held on March 7-8, 2024 in person. Please let us know if you have any questions, by emailing Margaret Barfield at margaret.barfield@pepperdine.edu.
We deeply appreciate the continued support of judges, professors, clerks, and students who have helped make this conference a success for nearly two decades. We look forward to meeting you this spring.
