    Editors' Note

    Editors’ Note The editors of the Asian-Pacific Law & Policy Journal (“APLPJ”), proudly present Volume 13, Issue 2, which ambitiously features two translations, five articles, and four comments. The translations include reporting of landmark Chinese cases from 2009 and 2010 by China’s progressive investigative newspaper, the Southern Weekend. The topics covered in the articles include food safety in China; Japan’s relationship with nuclear weapons; Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument’s precedence-setting for international marine conservation efforts; and a piece on Native Hawaiian polity written in response to an article published by APLPJ in 2010. This issue also includes comments ranging from human trafficking in South Korea; legal history on Hawai‘i land inheritance law; corporate social responsibility in India; and an analysis of the natural resource enforcement chain in Hawai‘i. Along with producing this exciting issue, the APLPJ staff presented what proved to be one of the largest and most significant student-run symposiums in the history of the William S. Richardson School of Law. The Rainbow Rising Symposium Committee, comprised of APLPJ staff and members of both the Pacific-Asian Legal Studies Organization and the Lambda Law Student Association, ultimately raised over $20,000 through generous grant support by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Center for Japanese Studies, Center for Korean Studies, Center for Pacific Islands Studies, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, the Student Equity, Excellence & Diversity Board, and the Student Activity & Program Fee Board. Rainbow Rising also received support from the William S. Richardson School of Law and the Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law.
