Ken Starr Institute for Faith, Law, and Public Service
The Ken Starr Institute for Faith, Law, and Public Service cultivates a community
of scholars dedicated to the pursuit of justice, upholding the rule of law, and serving
the nation and the world with integrity and compassion through the lens of faith.
Inspired and energized by the life and legacy of legal scholar, public servant, and
former Caruso School of Law dean Ken Starr, the Ken Starr Institute enhances the components
of the Pepperdine University mission for which Starr cared so deeply and reinforces
the fundamental American values that contribute to the success of a flourishing society.
Work of the Institute
To develop and deepen community and promote the formation of ideas, the Institute hosts lectures and conferences in the United States and internationally among jurists, academics, practitioners, and students. It also houses several fellowships for aspiring academics and students. And the Institute seeks to see law school students trained and new ideas implemented through clinical programs.
