Introducing Danny DeWalt

I am pleased to announce that Danny DeWalt will serve as the Assistant Director of the Parris Professionalism Institute. The new Parris Institute is dedicated to the professional development of first-year students at Pepperdine Law. Danny will work closely with Dean Brandt, Professor Schultz, and Dean Sturgeon in this new role.

Danny is uniquely qualified for this new position:
• He has been a partner of Goff & DeWalt, LLP, for the past sixteen years, emphasizing construction defect, condominium law, and homeowner association law. Mr. DeWalt is a member of the State Bar of Washington, the King County Bar Association, the Pierce County Bar Association, and Washington State Trial Lawyers Association.
• He is the Vice President of Restore International. In that role, he is involved in human rights efforts in Southern India and Africa, and is engaged in the restoration of oppressed children in those regions.
• He is a pastor who also specializes in marriage and family counseling. In addition to his JD from Cal Western, he holds a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Lutheran University. He and his wife Amy recently co-authored a book, “High Octane Marriage: Experience the Power of God’s Design.”
• He has taught at Pepperdine Law as an adjunct professor with his law partner and friend, Bob Goff, for the past four years.

Danny’s first day on the job is today!

Yours,
Al Sturgeon
Dean of Students
