The graduating class of 2015 gifted the ATMOS water generator to the law school. The AWG creates clean, triple filtered hot and cold drinking water from the moisture in the air. The water generator holds 8 gallons of water maximum and continuously filters water out of the air. The filtration process can take several hours, so, if the containers are drained by thirsty law students, try again later. We plugged the device in at C.J.'s corner. The cold water is running at about 42 degrees while the hot water is running at about 180 degrees. (PLEASE be extra careful with the hot water.) I've created this video to provide instructions on how to use the AWG. Mucho mahalos to the graduating class of 2016! Happy Constitution Day! September 17th was designated as National Constitution Day in 2004 (see PL 108-447, Division J, Title 1, § 110). This intent behind declaring a special day to celebrate the Constitution was to encourage schools who receive federal funds to teach students about the Constitution. It has since grown to be celebrated by many universities and schools across the country.
The law library has subscribed to new electronic resources.

Journal of Health and Life Sciences Law The Journal of Health and Life Sciences Law is dedicated to bringing you critical practical information that will help you advise your clients in the ever changing world of health and life sciences law.

In each issue, the Journal presents in-depth, well researched, practical treatment of each topic. Professor Szymczak, the Law Library Director, organizes fun dive trips at UH that double for an opportunity to help keep our harbors and reefs clean of debris. Diving for Detritus - cleverly named by Dean Soifer - is open to all certified divers at UH. It works closely with Ocean Defenders Alliance out of California who hopes to establish a chapter here in Hawaii. In addition to law students, we have grads from SOEST involved in our efforts. It is a great way to socialize across schools - though it is NOT an official UH organization.
The first dive of the 2016-2017 academic year takes place tomorrow at 12:30 on the west side. Our boat leaves from the Waianae Boat Harbor, courtesy of Hawaii Nautical! Big mahalos to Hawaii Nautical for supporting ocean clean up efforts. Tomorrow, divers will learn the rudiments of ocean clean up and practice how to haul unsafe materials from the ocean onto the boat. Kurt Lieber, founder of ODA, will be leading the instruction. There is a $10 tank fee. Hawaii Nautical can arrange for equipment rentals if you need to rent equipment. Contact Professor Szymczak if you want to join tomorrow or sign up for future dives. The group tries to go out once a month. So GET OUT OF THE LAW LIBRARY and go diving with Professor Szymczak! |
