Interesting article and video in the L.A. Times:  Kenneth Starr: Open to the Public, by Jim Newton:

After Starr completed his work in the Clinton investigation, he came west, where he and Pepperdine set out to build a law school that fuses faith and service with the law, part of Pepperdine’s deliberate attempt to infuse its academic excellence with religious purpose. They are at work even as Erwin Chemerinsky, newly appointed dean of UC Irvine’s law school, is building his faculty along his lines, presumably more liberal than Starr’s. The result is an impressive regional bracketing of legal intelligentsia — with Malibu oddly on the right to Irvine’s left.
