I'm about to wrap up my first week at Pepperdine law school, and thus far, it's been a tremendous experience all around.
The professors, students, and staff are all exceptionally kind and outgoing. Dean Starr made a point of being at many of our orientation sessions, including our last day bbq, whereat he was donning shorts, a hawaiian shirt, and a baseball cap. It's odd to picture a former federal appeals court judge and soliciter general in that outfit, but there he was, being totally outgoing to a bunch of 1Ls, many of whom only know him as that guy who went after Clinton in the 1990s. They'll soon establish a new point of reference for this genius of a man.
The campus is exceptionally maintained and manicured.
The views from every part of campus are breathtaking and awe-inspiring.
And the inside of the law library is just not a fun place to be. Unfortunately, that's where 1Ls spend most of their time.
The work isn't too bad if can shut out distractions, like really cute girls everywhere parading around in summer outfits.
More later...
