Native Hawaiians and Law School


Received via email from Derek Kauanoe...


‘Ahahui O Hawai‘i, The Hawaiian law student organization at the Richardson School of Law, is looking for Native Hawaiians eligible and interested in applying to law school. ‘Ahahui O Hawai‘i will be providing three sets of workshops for Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) preparation. 

For a person to be eligible to apply to law school they must "receive a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university or college of approved standing before they begin their work at the School of Law."

LSAT preparation is a vital part of the law school application process. "The LSAT is a half-day standardized test measur[ing] acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills." ‘Ahahui O Hawai‘i is providing LSAT preparation classes to eligible Hawaiian law school applicants at no cost. 

LSAT preparation workshops will be provided in:

March-April 2006 for the June 2006 LSAT
June-July 2006 for the October and December 2006 LSAT
December-January 2006-07 for the February 2007 LSAT.

The ability of ‘Ahahui O Hawai‘i to provide LSAT preparation to Hawaiians is made possible by a grant from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Unfortunately, space availability in each workshop is limited. Hawaiians interested in enrolling in these workshops are encouraged to reply to this notice as soon as possible.

For more information, please e-mail ‘Ahahui O Hawai‘i at ahahui @ hawaii.edu or you may also call Derek Kauanoe (808) 383-6684. For more information on the William S. Richardson School of Law, please visit www.hawaii.edu/law.

"In order to preserve our people, culture, and lands, we must take an active role in this [legal] system. The law is limiting, but it can be, it must be, and it has been, used to advance the rights of Hawaiian people. That is why I view increased participation by Hawaiians in the legal process as a positive step."
- Spoken by Chief Justice William S. Richardson on August 5, 1988.
