SBA offers free academic supplements in the SBA room at the beginning of each semester. Also note the library has copies of 100s of supplements! If you can't find them, ask the library front desk where the shelf is located.
SBA offers book scholarships every semester. Book scholarships are reimbursement for textbooks that have already been purchased.
This scholarship will be given to a law student in each class level (1L, 2L, 3L), and one LLM/Straus/3+ student to help cover those cost of textbooks. This scholarship provides reimbursements for textbooks already purchased by students this semester. We will reimburse up to $250 per scholarship recipient. If you are selected as a recipient, you will need to supply receipts from your purchases. Follow @pepperdinelawsba on Instagram for updates!
The library keeps copies of all required textbooks at the front desk, plus a collection of hundreds of supplements available off the shelf (accessible after library hours). See our library page for more info!
See how to find your required textbooks.
Rent or buy your textbooks on the Bookstore Website.
Check out Chegg and Amazon Textbooks to compare prices on new books, used books, and rentals.
Keep in mind that sometimes buying new from the publisher comes with a free e-book version and additional resources (particularly West Academic books).
Join our Used Textbooks Facebook group. The purpose of this group is solely to connect Pepperdine students selling their old textbooks to students who wish to buy them. SBA is not part of these transactions.
