The sustaining principle of Pepperdine's law school is quite simple: lawyers treat their clients the way their law professors treated them. Although our faculty is composed of outstanding classroom teachers, the greatest impact on your life and career will not be what you learn in the classroom. Rather, the impact will be what you learn from conversations in your professors' offices, how they greet you in the hallways, what you feel after talking with a professor about a personal struggle or family tragedy affecting your studies, and the fact that they know you as a person, not a faceless student. Pepperdine graduates are trained to treat their future clients with respect and kindness. They are trained to give advice that recognizes all issues facing the client, not just the technical, legal ones. Using the traditional name for our profession, Pepperdine lawyers are "counselors at law."
