Pepperdine University School of Law presented the eighth National Convention of the Jewish Law Students Association earlier this month. The event was hosted by the Pepperdine chapter of the Jewish Law Students Association and the Diane and Guilford Glazer Institute for Jewish Studies.
The convention featured a gala dinner at the Museum of Tolerance with speaker Gil Artzyeli, deputy consul general of Israel to Los Angeles. It also featured a conference and a keynote address by Alan M. Dershowitz, a civil liberties lawyer, at Pepperdine’s Villa Graziadio Executive Center.
Conference topics included international law, genocide and Holocaust, emerging topics in Jewish law, expanding interfaith relationships, and the death penalty.
The goal of the conference was to engage the national community in a discussion about emerging topics in Jewish law and Israel, and to celebrate expanded interfaith relationships.
