A Pepperdine Law Review Symposium

Pepperdine University School of Law • Malibu, California

Welcome

Exploring the Impact of Past and Present Lawyers and the Lessons They Provide for Future Generations

THE LAWYER OF THE FUTURE

The Lawyer of the Future symposium will showcase the lawyers of the

past and present, the variety of roles they serve within American society,

and what their experiences and models teach us about who the lawyers

of the future can and should be. From public servants to philanthropists,

government officials to business entrepreneurs, the symposium will focus

on the role of lawyers as working models of the rule of law.

Each symposium presenter will articulate the role that he or she sees

lawyers serving in society. Given the cacophony of public and political

rhetoric concerning the practice of law, the symposium will address a new

form of lawyer for the future—modeling civil discourse, orderly resolution

of conflict, and informed public discussion and debate.

The underlying purpose of the symposium is to gain a better understanding

of the role that American lawyers have played in the past, what challenges

and opportunities they face in the present, and how lawyers will best be

equipped in the future to meet the needs and expectations of their clients.
