TRICIA BIGELOW
THE HONORABLE TRICIA BIGELOW SPOKE ABOUT HER TIME AS A JUDGE.
PRIOR TO THE DINNER, STUDENTS AND ALUMNI GATHERED ON THE MALIBU CAMPUS FOR THE FINAL ROUND OF THE DALSIMER MOOT COURT COMPETITION.
“I’ve been really blessed to be on the bench for the last 17 years,” she said. “It’s never a dull moment, and it’s really better than L.A. Law or any other soap opera you can imagine. I’ve been there when victims of sexual assault recount their experiences. Families of murder victims experience what it’s like to have lost someone. I had the privilege of being able to shape the law most recently in my experience in the Court of Appeal. It’s a pleasure and a privilege and a job that I only hope that I measure up to.” Dean Tacha reflected on the evening saying, “The School of Law Dinner is a highlight of the academic year for our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends. This year’s dinner was especially meaningful because it featured so many of our alumni and students who are making extraordinary contributions to the law and the legal profession.”
“The final round of the Dalsimer Competition was, for the first time, judged by three Pepperdine Law alumni who hold high judicial office,” said Dean Tacha. “We are so proud of the achievements of our alumni, students, faculty, and staff.”
