A California-based personal injury lawyer, Kevin Taguchi has been working as an attorney in the state for more than three decades. In preparation for his legal career, Kevin Taguchi earned a juris doctor (JD) from Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu.
Pepperdine University School of Law began the 2017-18 academic year under the leadership of a new dean. On June 1, 2017, Paul L. Caron took over responsibilities as dean for Deanell Tacha, who has held the post for the last six years.
A highly regarded scholar in the area of tax law, Caron has written extensively on the topic and been listed as one of the top 100 experts in the area every year since 2006. Outside of his work at Pepperdine, he publishes the most popular tax law blog on the internet and oversees the Law Professor Blogs Network, which features over 50 blogs on various legal topics.
Prior to assuming responsibilities as the Duane and Kelly Roberts Dean, Caron served Pepperdine as a visiting scholar, tenured professor, and most recently associate dean for research and faculty development. His tenure as dean comes just after Pepperdine expanded its non-JD program offerings. In addition to advancing the new programs, Caron is focused on ensuring that students get the most from their education dollars in an environment that supports their needs as well as those of the faculty and staff.
