Academic Advising Week
Students are bound by all of the policies located in the Student Handbook. The following selected policies are highlighted for discussion during Launch Week:
Reporting Obligations All students of the School of Law owe a continuing duty to report in writing to the dean of the School of Law any conviction, guilty plea, or plea of nolo contendere (no contest to the charge), except regarding minor traffic offenses. The report must be made within 14 days of the conviction or plea. The University reserves the right to dismiss a student, after reasonable notice and an opportunity to be heard, who has been convicted or pled guilty or nolo contendere to an offense other than a minor traffic violation, or who fails to notify the School of Law of a conviction or plea as described above.
Alcohol and Drugs It is the desire of Pepperdine University to foster an alcohol-and-drug free environment in which to work, live, and learn. As a Christian University, Pepperdine attempts to take an approach to individual problems of alcohol or drug use characterized by helpfulness, compassion, understanding, and encouragement on the one hand, and by directness and concerned firmness on the other. It is also the law school’s intent to comply with the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Amendment of 1998. See Substance Abuse Policy in the Student Handbook. Consequently, the consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages or possession of empty containers is prohibited on University property, regardless of a student’s age. Intoxication is also prohibited. The use, possession, distribution, or sale of all illegal or potentially harmful drugs or drug-related paraphernalia is strictly prohibited. Anyone involved in the sale of drugs will be dismissed immediately.
Dishonesty Dishonesty in any form, including plagiarizing, cheating on assignments or examinations, knowingly furnishing false information on University records, forging, altering, or misusing documents, records, or identification cards, or failing to comply with written or verbal directives of duly authorized officials acting in the performance of assigned duties is strictly prohibited.
Working as a 1L Working during the first year of law school is strongly discouraged, but if there is an extraordinary circumstance, first-year students should speak with the vice dean before accepting either a paid or voluntary commitment.
Selected Student Life Policies and Regulations
law.pepperdine edu/current-students/student-handbook/law
“Strengthening Lives for Purpose, Service, and Leadership”
The mission of Pepperdine University School of Law is to provide highly qualified students with a superior legal education. The school seeks to prepare students for positions as counselors, advocates, and judges; as business persons; and as researchers, teachers, and philosophers of the law. These ends are furthered by a program of academic excellence combined with practical experience.
The school’s Christian emphasis leads to a special concern for imbuing students with the highest principles of professional, ethical, and moral responsibility. An effort is made to call together a faculty, staff, and student body who wish to share this experience of quality legal education in a value-centered context. It is the philosophy of the School of Law that lawyers best serve the interests of their clients, as well as the interests of society, when they possess a genuine commitment to high standards of personal conduct and professional responsibility. Therefore, the school tries to convey to its students not only the knowledge of how to employ the law, but also an awareness of the responsibilities to society that accompany the power inherent in that knowledge.
The faculty and administration of the School of Law are committed to the proposition that the way in which they approach students, both personally and professionally, will shape the student’s perception of the law and the role of lawyers. Both faculty and administration must, therefore, adhere to the highest standards of moral and ethical conduct, exhibit a concern for the total education and personal well-being of students, and uphold the ideal of the personal dignity of each individual. One significant manifestation of this faculty and administrative role is the emphasis placed on counseling students. Both faculty and administrators continually reaffirm their commitment to serving the needs of students and to being available to students. The faculty and administration believe that this role model concept is integral to improving the profession and accomplishing the mission of the law school.
