Today ends the last full week of classes for the spring semester. Next week, classes will end on Wednesday, followed by the intense preparation period for final exams.
I will attend two back-to-back conferences next week, so I will return in time to begin our two weeks of finals.
The blog will take a break next week as I travel, but it will return on Monday, April 17, and track our exam period.

The Vincent S. Dalsimer Moot Court Competition is the annual team appellate advocacy intraschool competition at Pepperdine Law. Two-person teams submit an appellate brief, followed by oral argument rounds. Students receive one unit of credit for participation, and the finalists have the opportunity to argue the final round before a distinguished panel of judges. The winning team, as well as Brief and Individual Advocacy awards, are announced at the Law School Dinner. Prize money donated by alumni is also awarded.
I am pleased to share that the final round has been set: a team of 3Ls, Scott Sasser and Matt Sessions, will compete against a team of 2Ls, Alex Farzan and Tim O’Hair. The final round will be held this afternoon in front of a large crowd of prospective students in Caruso Auditorium.
Congratulations (and good luck) to our finalists!!!
