Aloha Carole,

The upcoming Hawaiian Society of Law & Politics Symposium will be held on March 31, 2007 (Saturday) at the Imin Center on the campus of the University of Hawai`i at Manoa. As a member of the symposium planning committee, we want to give everyone an opportunity to take advantage of this symposium on the topic of curriculum development regarding Hawai`i political and legal history and its profound impact today. The symposium is free and open to the public. To register for the symposium and download the symposium agenda go to: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hslp/symposium.html. Seats are limited so registration is highly recommended before March 31st.

The focus of the symposium is on curriculum development at the Collegiate and High School levels. The symposium will provide an interdisciplinary forum where three instructors who teach at the Graduate, Undergraduate and High School levels will present their articles that were published in volume 2 of the Hawaiian Journal of Law & Politics http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hslp/journal_vol2.html. Following their presentations there will be a panel discussion on how they each have taught courses at the Collegiate and High School levels regarding Hawai`i as an independent and sovereign State and the sources they use. Audience participation is encouraged. The presenters are:
