Our Advisory Board  
The Honorable Kenneth W. Starr was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1983 by President Ronald Reagan, after serving as counselor to the United States Attorney General. Judge Starr resigned from the bench to serve as Solicitor General of the United States, where he argued over 25 cases before the Supreme Court. Judge Starr returned to private practice, and was later appointed Independent Counsel on the Whitewater matter in August 1994. He is currently the Dean of Pepperdine University’s Law School, as well as a practicing attorney in appellate litigation.
