As you consider the part you will play in society and the career you hope to pursue, weigh carefully your law school choice and the investment a university like Pepperdine is determined to make in you. It is our responsibility to afford you every opportunity to master the skills of critical thinking, writing, and research, to discover your calling with access to faculty—distinguished in their disciplines and professions—in an environment that is equipped for learning. Nearly 9,000 of the world’s most conscientious law students have forged these skills at Pepperdine’s Malibu campus, in the School of Law’s centers and institutes, and with unparalleled mentoring from a faculty nationally recognized for their availability and interest in your goals. More than ever I remain confident that the benefits of an excellent education are among the few constants during this time of change and challenge. I am equally confident in asserting that the benefit of a faith- inspired law education from Pepperdine School of Law, one which affirms the importance of quality, student-centered teaching, personal integrity, and the value of your spiritual journey will prepare you abundantly for the career and life to which you aspire. Welcome to Pepperdine, a distinctively different university. We pledge to prepare you well for a life of purpose, service, and leadership if you let us. Andrew K. Benton President University Information 9 History of the University Pepperdine University is an independent, medium-sized university enrolling approximately 7,700 students in five colleges and schools.
