January 24, 2019 | Pepperdine Law alumnus, the Honorable Steven L. Perk (JD '80), was remembered as "A Beloved Friend and Leader in the Legal Community" by Project Youth OCBF. Judge Perk recently passed away in Laguna Hills, California. During his judicial career, Judge Perk served on the Orange County Superior Court, including the General Civil Panel and Complex Civil Panel.

Judge Perk is remembered as "a no-nonsense trial judge who valued promptness, preparedness and professionalism.  Whether hearing high-profile matters like the 4-month Lloyd Charton trial or the pleas of a pro se litigant, he allowed parties to make their case, delivered clear and fair decisions, and treated all with respect and civility.  He was a fine judge and an exceptional human being who never lost his love for family, friends and sports.  For lawyers and non-lawyers alike, Judge Perk will stand as one of Orange County's finest models of integrity, hard work, honesty and fairness.  He leaves behind a loving family and a legal community that deeply mourns his passing."
