Pepperdine University has named Tenth Circuit Judge Deanell Reece Tacha as its new dean. Tacha has been on the federal bench for 25 years, appointed in 1985 by Ronald Reagen. Before joining the bench, she was a law school professor and associate dean, and vice chancellor for academic affairs, at the University of Kansas. Pepperdine is now developing a tradition of tapping conservative federal judges as dean. Tacha, of course, follows on the heels of Judge Kenneth Starr.
