Dean’s Message

Aloha! I am pleased to have theopportunity to introduce you toour excellent and exciting

Environmental Law Program (ELP) at theWilliam S. Richardson School of Law,University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. In 1988,our law school community made a deci-sion to focus a substantial part of ourresources toward furthering the goal ofenlightened environmental stewardshiphere in Hawai‘i and in the Pacific Region.Since that time, the ELP has maturedinto a comprehensive program that wasranked in the top twenty-five in thenation by U.S. News and World Report in2000. I am particularly proud of thehighly qualified faculty who teach in theprogram. Their diverse interests andexpertise allow us to offer a program ofstudy that represents the varied perspec-tives of the governmental, public interest,and private sectors. Students have unparalleled opportunities to engage inactivities such as arguing mock casesbefore Hawai‘i’s Supreme Court andIntermediate Court of Appeals; externingwith the U.S. Justice Department, the

military, corporate law firms, public inter-est law firms, and the State Office of theAttorney General; testifying before thelegislature and government agencies; andpresenting papers at national conferences.They also work in the lo‘i (taro fields)with community groups, clean upstreams, and help restore native vegetationto deforested areas. Tom Pierce, a 1997graduate whose practice with a private lawfirm on Maui focuses on business litiga-tion, including environmental and landuse issues, comments: “By the time I fin-ished my Environmental Law Certificate,I was not only acquainted with all themajor federal and state environmentalstatutes, I had also been introduced tomost of the environmental lawyers inHawai‘i’s legal community.” We inviteyou to meet, learn from, and one day,become part of Hawai‘i’s and the nation’scommunity of lawyers.

The School of Law offers a rich curriculum that includes two specialtycertificates—Environmental Law andPacific-Asian Legal Studies—that providestudents a focused course of study and anadvantage in launching their careers.Students can also select from a number ofclinics, both live-client and simulated. In1992, at the suggestion of the students,the School of Law adopted a sixty-hourpro bono (public service) graduationrequirement. The School of Law’s mootcourt teams (Environmental, NativeAmerican, Client Counseling, and JessupInternational) have an impressive historyof success in both national and interna-tional competitions, including severalregional and national championships. The student body takes advantage of theSchool of Law’s unique position in thePacific Region and of Hawai‘i’s rich cultural history by participating in suchdiverse activities as externships in Asia,working on Native Hawaiian rights andsovereignty issues, and learning hula withthe law school’s halau (dance group).

The Environmental Law Program: A Special Program in a Spectacular Setting

The dramatically beautiful Hawaiianarchipelago is the most isolated landmass in the world. This geographic

isolation has contributed to the evolutionof spectacular and unique island ecosys-tems that are particularly vulnerable to dis-ruption. Population growth in Hawai‘i hasbrought important economic development,but it also has created significant stresseson the environment. Although it repre-sents less than one percent of the landmass of the United States, Hawai‘i hasapproximately 75 percent of the nation’slisted endangered species. Conflicts overuse and management of the state’s limitednatural resources constantly challenge theabilities of Hawai‘i’s political-legal system.

Recognizing the challenges thatHawai‘i faces in developing an environ-mentally sustainable economy, the Schoolof Law has developed a vibrant and diverseEnvironmental Law Program (ELP). Sinceits inception in 1988, the ELP has becomea significant part of the curriculum at theSchool of Law and is a fundamental component of the school’s mission. TheELP seeks to train future lawyers to beskilled in the field of environmental lawand to contribute to the advancement ofenvironmental law doctrine, scholarship,and practice locally, regionally, nationally,and internationally.

The ELP offers a significant numberof exciting and varied courses in environ-mental law and related fields. In 1992, weinstituted the Certificate in EnvironmentalLaw, which recognizes the increased student interest in this area of law, theexpertise of a substantial number of ourfaculty, and job opportunities in this rapidly developing field of law. To qualifyfor a certificate, a student must (1) take acombination of required and optionalcourses from the certificate offerings, (2)maintain a required GPA in those courses,and (3) complete a directed study orexternship focused on environmental lawor be a member of the Environmental LawMoot Court Team.

As a part of the certificate program,many School of Law students take advan-

tage of a wide array of environmental lawexternships, both for academic and probono credit. Placements include theHawai‘i Office of the Attorney General,Office of the U. S. Attorney, U.S. JusticeDepartment, EarthJustice Legal DefenseFund, Native Hawaiian Advisory Council,Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, U.S.Coast Guard, Army Corps of Engineers,U.S. Navy, and private law firms. Lookingback on her experiences at the School ofLaw, Malia Akutagawa, class of 1997, whois now a junior attorney at NativeHawaiian Legal Corporation, comments: “As an attorney representing Hawaiians, I often find that many of the legal issues in protecting native land rights andHawaiian customary and traditional practices are intertwined with environ-mental law. The School of Law’s solidenvironmental law curriculum and dedicated, experienced faculty prepared mewell to face the challenges of this dynamicarea of law.”

As of 2000, 38 students had receivedtheir Environmental Law Certificates.Most of the ELP graduates have foundpositions where environmental law consti-tutes some or all of their work. They areemployed by private law firms; county,state and federal government agencies; andnonprofit groups. Graduates such as Karla Axell, class of 1993, who practicesenvironmental law as an attorney atPerkins Coie in Seattle, Washington, credits the ELP with “giving [her] theability to hit the ground running in [her] environmental law practice.”Jean Campbell, class of 2000, who is practicing corporate environmental andland use law with Carlsmith Ball inHonolulu, reports: “I was able to startworking as an environmental law attorneystraight out of school because of the greattraining I received in the environmentallaw program. I learned how to approachenvironmental law problems and untanglecomplicated statutes, regulations, and cases.I saw the direct effect of environmentallaws through class field trips to regulatedfacilities and wildlife preserves on O‘ahuand the neighbor islands.”

ELP Professor Denise Antolini islaunching a web project called ‘OHELO,Our Hawai‘i Environmental Law On-Line. (The ‘ohelo is a small native shrubwhose berries are a favorite of Hawai‘i’sstate bird, the endangered Nene featuredon the cover.) The ‘OHELO project willbring together for the first time in one easily accessible site Hawai‘i’s environ-mental law—state, federal, and agencydecisions, as well as selected pleadings andrecent developments.

Two public service environmental lawgrants are available to students at theSchool of Law. First, the No Ke Ola O Ka‘Aina (For the Life of the Land) summergrant, offered by the Environmental LawSociety from monies raised at their annualpa‘ina (celebration) is a competitive$2,000 award that funds an ELP student’ssummer clerkship with a public interest orgovernmental organization on environ-mental law issues. Second, the ELP haspartnered with the Natural ResourcesSection of the Hawai‘i State BarAssociation to launch a MinorityFellowship in Environmental Law fundedby the NRS and the ABA Section onEnvironment, Energy and NaturalResources. The Fellowship is funding twosummer grants of up to $5,000 each tominority students to work on environmen-tal issues in the governmental or publicinterest sector.

Finally, as part of their 60-hour pro bono graduation requirement, ELP students have donated over 1,000 hours oftheir time to environmental public interestorganizations and attorneys over the pastfive years. The ELP plans to continue tosupport both faculty and student efforts atcommunity outreach and education, locally, nationally, and internationally.

In 1995, the ELP launched the first project in its CommunityOutReach and Education (CORE)

program. With a grant from the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency and incooperation with the Native HawaiianAdvisory Council (NHAC), ELP facultyand students published two handbooks onselected Hawai‘i environmental and natural resource laws and administrativeprocesses. In 1995 and 1997, the ELP and NHAC used these books as teachingtools in a series of community-based workshops around the islands to empower communities to more effectivelyparticipate in administrative agency legislative-type decision-making regarding

environmental issues. With support fromthe Hawai‘i Community Foundation, ELPDirector Professor Casey Jarman is producing a videotape and workbooks onlawyering skills to assist communitygroups in preparing for adjudicatory hearings in front of Hawai‘i’s state andcounty land use, natural resource, andenvironmental agencies. The materials will be presented at workshops throughoutthe state and be made available on theELP website. This project represents a collaborative effort of ELP faculty, students, and local environmental andland use attorneys.

Expanding Student Opportunities:

Promoting Student Scholarship and Off-Campus Learning

To expand opportunities for studentsoutside the traditional classroomsetting, the ELP has created a

diverse program of grants and awards thatsupports law student scholarship and par-ticipation in regional and national confer-ences. The Wayne C. Gagne MemorialAward provides funding each year for theDirector of the Environmental LawSociety to attend the Western PublicInterest Environmental Law Conference

(WPIELC) held each March at theUniversity of Oregon School of Law inEugene, Oregon. With funding fromalumni and local businesses, the ELP sendsstudents to Washington, D.C. for the ALI-ABA Environmental Law Conferenceheld in February of each year. This practi-tioners’ conference is widely attended byleading government and private environ-mental attorneys. The Hawai‘i State BarAssociation (HSBA) Real Property andFinancial Services section has supportedstudent travel to a leading national landuse conference.

With the generous assistance of thePohaku Fund of the Tides Foundation, theELP has established the Pohaku FundCompetitive Travel Grant Program, whichfunds travel for students to the WPIELCto present their scholarship at an ELP-cre-ated panel on hot topics in environmentallaw in Hawai‘i. The Honu Award, spon-sored by ELP Professors Jarman andAntolini, supports a third student’s partici-pation in the panel. Through these travelgrants and awards, ELP students have anunparalleled opportunity to learn fromsome of the top environmental and landuse attorneys in the U.S. and to share theirscholarship and knowledge about Hawai‘ienvironmental issues with scholars, lawstudents, and practitioners across thecountry.

To further promote student scholar-ship under the Pohaku Grant, inSeptember 2000 the ELP launched its newstudent paper series: He Mau Mo‘oleloKanawai o ka ‘Aina (Stories of the Law ofthe Land), published both in print and onthe ELP website. The Mo‘olelo series allowsthe ELP to share with colleagues in theHawaiian, U.S., and international legal,governmental, and public interest commu-nities a selection of the best scholarshipproduced by our law students on environ-mental, land use, and indigenous peopleslaw issues. In addition, with support fromthe Pohaku Grant, ELP has initiatedMo‘olelo On-Line!, a web archive of out-standing student papers on environmentallaw topics written for various courses atthe School of Law.

The Environmental Law Society: Committed to Community Service and Fun!

The Environmental Law Society(ELS) is one of the largest andmost active student organizations at

the School of Law. Created in 1987, thestudent-led ELS has built an impressiveprogram of education, scholarship, andpublic service. The reasons for ELS’s success are numerous: the natural environment that makes Hawai‘i an extra-ordinary place to live; the strong supportof administration, faculty, and alumni;and the effort of numerous student members.

Hawai‘i’s unique environment makesit a rare and special place to learn aboutenvironmental law. Recognizing theimportance of the environment inHawai‘i and the rest of the world, themission of ELS is to increase the students’and public’s awareness of the environmen-tal issues and values that underlie many oftoday’s policy decisions. ELS provides students and the general community withexposure to environmental issues andlaws, participates in conservation efforts,and develops students’ skills to participatein the making of sound environmentalpolicy. Students are matched with attorneys practicing environmental law inthe public, private, and public interestsectors through externships, summer associate positions, conferences, and com-

munity/bar activities. Striving to put students into Hawai‘i’s spectacular environment, ELS offers exciting hikesand service projects throughout the school year.

To enhance student opportunities to work in the public sector of environ-mental law, in 1999 ELS initiated a student-run summer grant program, NoKe Ola O Ka ‘Aina (For the Life of theLand). Robert Harris, class of 2002, the first grant recipient, spent a rewarding summer with the Hawai‘i Attorney General’s Office working on environmental enforcement: “The grantprogram offers an exciting opportunity tosee first-hand Hawai‘i’s environmentallaws at work and complemented mycoursework in law school. I was directlyinvolved in enforcement cases, workingside-by-side with the top governmentattorneys in the State.”

Other ongoing projects of the ELSinclude hosting the annual Hawai‘iEnvironmental Law Careers Fair; publish-ing the Hawai‘i Environmental LawCareers Directory; putting on a speakers’series; recycling; communicating throughthe ELS newsletter, email list, and website; and participating in the City andCounty of Honolulu’s Adopt-a-Streamprogram. In addition, ELS sponsors hik-ing trips and beach cleanups; organizesservice trips to the uninhabited island ofKaho‘olawe to assist in clean up andrevegetation of this former U.S. militarybombing target; organizes an annualspring pa‘ina (celebration) that bringstogether ELS students, faculty, alumni,and Hawai‘i’s environmental law bar; andpresents papers at and participates inregional and national environmental lawconferences.
