Pepperdine Caruso Law Bibles At The Supreme Court

Last week, I had the honor of participating in one of my favorite events of the year:  moving the admission of Pepperdine Caruso Law alums into the U.S. Supreme Court Bar:

After the swearing-in ceremony, we watched the oral argument in Bufkin v. McDonough, No. 23-713. The issue in the case is whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims must ensure that the benefit-of-the-doubt rule in 38 U.S.C. § 5107(b) was properly applied during the claims process in order to satisfy 38 U.S.C. § 7261(b)(1), which directs the court to “take due account” of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ application of that rule. For coverage of the oral argument, see Law360, Justices Torn On Interpretation Of Veterans Benefits Law.

We added a new tradition this year by giving each of our alums Pepperdine Caruso Law-branded Bibles to mark the special occasion:
