DAVID CALLIES is the new coeditor (with Spring Visiting Prof. Dan Tarlock) of West Group's Annual Land Use and Environmental Law Review which publishes the best land use and environmental articles from the previous year. Prof. Callies also moderated an international panel on land development regulation at the combined annual meetings of the American Bar Association and the Law Society in London this past July. His book on US land use controls was published in Chinese, also in July.

MARK LEVIN's book review of Japanese Law: An Economic Approach (by Harvard University Law School Prof. Mark Ramseyer and University of Tokyo Prof. Minoru Nakazato) was published in Volume 26 of the Journal of Japanese Studies. Prof. Levin praises Ramseyer and Nakazato's work, but reserves some criticism for shortcomings in their analytical ethodology. See the review on the law school's website, www.hawaii.edu/law, under the "Faculty Publications" tab.

JIM PIETSCH's article "The Death of the Living Will and the Making of Health Care Decisions Under Hawaii's New But Not Quite Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act" was recently published in the Hawaii Bar Journal, Vol. 3, No. 13 (1999).

FRANK BOAS, a member of the law school's Dean's Advisory Committee and a retired international law attorney, is the subject of a cover story in the summer 2000 issue of Ho'oulu, the UH Foundation newsletter. Mr. Boas has been a strong supporter of our Law School. The article reviews the estate planning Mr. Boas has done over the past three years, including a provision in his revocable living trust to leave his home, contributions of appreciated securities to fund charitable annuities, and a testamentary pledge all for the benefit of our international and PALS program. Mahalo!

Hawaii Women Lawyers has a short article and two photos of our Orientation Week program in its September 2000 newsletter. HWL again sponsored one of the Orientation Week breakfasts for incoming students.
