Judge Danny Weinstein Appointed Distinguished Mediator In Residence
On January 28, 2021, Judge Danny Weinstein (Ret.) joined the Straus Institute as an honorary faculty member and Distinguished Mediator in Residence, co-teaching with professor Sukhsimranjit Singh.
The Institute held a virtual meeting to welcome Judge Danny to the Pepperdine Caruso Law family. In addition to Judge Danny and his family members, the event was attended by top University officials and board members and fellows of the Weinstein International Foundation from all over the world. After introductions by Singh, opening remarks from University president Jim Gash, dean Paul Caron, and Weinstein himself, several attendees shared words of congratulations and tribute. Judge Danny’s wife recited an original poem, and Judge Ann Claire Williams (Ret.) closed the event with a moving original song. Judge Danny, who taught courses in the spring and fall semesters, said, “I feel like I am in the right place. I want to be part of this great community, with the faith-based values of Pepperdine, which I share and make me feel like I’m with family.” Throughout his time at the law school, Judge Danny has continued to inspire students with his expertise and global mediation practice.
