Aloha

Welcome to the William S. Richardson School of Law. Our law school serves as an important bridge between Asia and the Pacific and the rest of the United States, and has been aptly described as a precious academic gem in the ocean. We stand apart not only because of our marvelous island location but also for our emphasis on pluralism within law, culture, and social and academic pursuits. Our faculty and students embody diversity more than at any other law school. We also offer a unique blend of first-rate legal training and personal contact - all within a lively and famously friendly community. The LL.M. Program offers great freedom to choose courses within a broad School of Law curriculum as well as across an extraordinary range of comparative and international specialties within our University. I urge you to learn more about us in the hope that we might share some of the myriad attractions of our wonderful Law School and our beautiful islands with you.
