Please RSVP. Professor Krisna Suryanata and Monique Mironesco will focus on Important Agricultural Lands and Farmers Market respectively. The book features island scholars and writers and addresses the diversity of food challenges that Hawai’i faces. Each of the nine essays describes Hawaiʻi’s foodscapes and collectively makes the case that food is a focal point for public policy making, social activism, and cultural mobilization. It covers controversies over land use policies, a gendered and racialized farming population, benefits and costs of biotechnology, stratified access to nutritious foods, as well as ensuring the economic viability of farms. * Vegetarian chili will be served in a first-come and first-served basis.

Ellen-Rae Cachola Evening Supervisor & Archives Manager The William S. Richardson School of Law Library is happy to announce updates on our Archive that students, faculty, and the public can access. The Archives mission is to provide material significant to the legal history of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. The Samuel P. King Collection, Faculty Publication Archives, Pacific Islands Committee Collection, and Law School History Archive are currently searchable through our Archives website.
The Samuel P. King Collection features the life, legal career, research materials, and cases of Samuel P. King. In addition to his career as a judge during the Hawaiian Renaissance and candidacy for Governorship, Judge King is well known for his co-authorship of Broken Trust: Greed, Mismanagement & Political Manipulation at America’s Largest Charitable Trust. The Faculty Publication Archives features the articles and book chapters authored by W. S. Richardson Law School faculty. Read up on the big ideas of the professors at this Law School. The Pacific Islands Committee collection is comprised of correspondence, minutes, memorandums, reports, and legal documents. This committee's mission was to monitor and make suggestions on the administration of justice in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of Samoa, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The Law School History collection features documents and ephemera relating to the history of the formation of the Law School as well as documents regarding the School’s activities throughout the years. This School has been instrumental in developing legal education in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. Collections that we are currently being processed are the Jon Van Dyke Collection, the Hawaiʻi Constitutional Convention newspaper scrapbook, the Pre-Statehood Government Documents, and the H-3 Litigation Archive. Stay posted for when these collections are made available in the near future. The Archive web address is http://archives.law.hawaii.edu/.

A research guide provides more information and a complete schedule. 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.
