Barbara Richardson Aloha Our Law School has come a very long way since the first intrepid band of students and faculty began to learn from each other in the quarry 40 years ago. We acquired a much-revered and beloved name when we became the William S. Richardson School of Law, and the spirit of CJ and his allies, led by Governor John Burns and Wally Fujiyama, still permeates their dynamic creation. We remain committed to opportunity for all qualified students, now including those who can attend law school only at night. We continue to provide excellent training for leaders, lawyers, and public servants in a myriad of different ways. Our exceptionally diverse faculty and student body share their expertise from around the world and they are making waves as lawyers and leaders not only in Hawai’i but also nationally and internationally. In addition, our Law School now enrolls foreign-trained lawyers and others attracted by the fact that we have much more of a global focus than do other law schools. Through our clinics, our pro bono requirements, and the rest of our curriculum, we teach first-rate lawyers to help people, businesses, government entities, and non-profits to solve problems justly and in ways that have lasting values. The Bible may give a somewhat negative spin when it recounts the number 40: Noah’s flood lasted 40 days and 40 nights, the children of Israel wandered in the desert for 40 years, and so forth. But our 40 years have been full of accomplishment and growth; in addition, we now have a very loyal band of alumni who support us and of whom we are rightfully very proud. We will not rest on past laurels, however. We can and will do much more. With your help and the help of our friends throughout the many communities in which we live and work and have fun, we will move forward in the ongoing search for justice. And we can be sure that our students—present and future—will continue to lead and to serve in ways that honor the memory and that advance the spirit of CJ as they go on to be exceptionally well-trained, ethical, and mutually supportive Richardson lawyers and leaders.

The proviso states “No funds shall be appropriated for the Sister Cities Program.” This proviso would prevent OED from fully realizing its mission in FY21 to promote economic growth and enhance the quality of life for the residents of the City and County of Honolulu by cultivating tourism and hospitality, advancing business, assisting agricultural development, and promoting the screen industries. The City and County of Honolulu enjoys a long and vibrant Sister City Program that not only has enriched cultural exchanges but brings direct economic benefit to Honolulu through donations, investments and business opportunities. Sister City guidelines were established by Resolution 91-240 which requires City funds be “appropriated within two years of the signing of the document establishing the Sister City relationship and every five years thereafter to provide for the exchange of gifts or good will missions to promote the newly established sisterhood and the concept of mutual understanding.” OED shared with the council reports on the Status of Sister Cities of the City and County of Honolulu that detailed recent activities between our city and each Sister City (attached).

Pang POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Feb 03, 2015 LAST UPDATED: 09:37 a.m. HST, Feb 03, 2015 Halfway into his first term, Hono­lulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell retains job performance approval from more than 2 out of 3 registered voters. The 70 percent approval rating from 322 registered voters, as reported in the latest Hawaii Poll, is statistically unchanged from the 72 percent approval rating that registered voters gave Caldwell on the same question in February 2014. The latest poll was conducted Jan. 13-23 by Ward Research Inc. for the Hono­lulu Star-Advertiser and Hawaii News Now. This portion of the poll has a margin of error of 5.5 percentage points. The strong approval rating comes despite vocal opposition to Caldwell's policies pushing through sit-lie ordinances addressing homelessness and establishing a dedicated bicycle-only lane on King Street. The results also come as Caldwell solidifies his contentious position to support the extension of the 0.5 percent general excise tax surcharge imposed on Oahu consumers beyond 2021 in order to meet a construction budget shortfall and future needs of Hono­lulu's rail project. Caldwell said the poll results reaffirm the hard work of his administration and the city's civil servants.

Cameras in the Courtroom: Guidelines for State Criminal Trials In 1965, only two states permitted photographic and electronic media coverage1 of courtroom proceedings.2 Today, forty-three states permit television coverage of their appellate and/or trial proceedings on an experimental or permanent basis. 3 This development has not come about in a systematic or uniform fashion. Lacking guidance from the federal courts, the states have independently conducted ex­ periments and adopted their own guidelines in an attempt to accom­ modate the conflicting constitutional4 and policy interests5 involved. The development of state guidelines6 has stemmed largely from the belief that media self-discipline is insufficient to ensure fair treatment 1. The phrase "photographic and electronic media coverage," referred to herein as "televis­ ing" or "broadcasting," includes both the acquisition of information (through devices such as still news photography, audio taping, motion picture filming and videotaping), and the public dissemination and broadcast of that information.

  • Trial Court Consolidation in Hawaii: the Road Already Taken?
    Trial Court Consolidation in Hawaii: The Road Already Taken? Susan Ekimoto Jaworowski Researcher Report No. 4. 1991 Legislative Reference Bureau State Capitol Honoiulu, Hawaii 96813 FOREWORD This study was prepared in response to House Resolution No. 68, adopted during the Regular Session of 1991. The Resolution requested an examination of the feasibility of consolidating Hawaii's two tier trial court system into one tier. The Resolution also requested information concerning the history and rationale behind establishing the two tier system, an evaluation of the currert trial court system and judicial administration, the rationale behind the differing job requirements and qualifications for judges in the two tiers, and the feasibility of establishing the same requirements for all trial level judges. The assistance of Bureau researcher Charlotte Carter-Yamauchi was a significant factor in the timely completion of this study. Ms. Carter-Yamauchi interviewed many of the circuit court judges and provided invaluable input into several areas, including the structure of the district court questionnaire. The Bureau extends its appreciation to ail who cooperated with and participated in this study, particularly Chief Justice Herman Lum; Dr. Irwin Tanaka, Administrative Director of the Courts; and C. Michael Hare, Chairman of the Judicial Selection Commission. It is hoped that the issues raised by the study will assist the Legislature and the Judiciary in making further incruiries and decisions on this matter. Samuel €3. K.

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.
