"The Law School"

Construction/repair update: today's Honolulu Advertiser's front page story covers the repairs beginning at UH including the law school's exterior paint job. The story noted that DEAN FOSTER and about 50 other volunteers cleaned and painted portions of the law school building two years ago when budget cuts kept postponing promised work on the building. The school has never been painted since it was originally built in the early 1980's, though it began peeling soon thereafter. The work on the law school, law library and the planters in between is expected to be completed by January. Contractors will not be working during final exams.

Halloween - yes, administration and staff will be wearing costumes on Halloween.

DEAN FOSTER is in Japan this week presenting a paper entitled "American Legal Education in the 21st Century" at four law faculties (Nihon, Meijo, Kwansei Gakuin, and Ritsumeikan) and for a meeting of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations in Tokyo. He will also be meeting with alums in Tokyo and visiting MATT GRIEDER 3L who is a visiting student at Doshisha University in Kyoto.
