Faculty Scholar Fund
Carlsmith Ball LLP donated $150,000 to Manoa’s William S. Richardson School of Law to establish the school’s first Law Faculty Scholar position. The fund will offer financial support for faculty research and scholarship for professors at the law school, which is highly ranked in many areas within legal education and is the only American Bar Association-accredited law school in the Pacific-Asia region.
“Our gift was inspired by the UH William S. Richardson School of Law’s tremendous contribution to Hawai‘i and the Asia-Pacific legal community,” says Carlsmith Ball LLP Chair and Manoa alumnus Karl Kobayashi. “We are pleased to support the Law School’s efforts to continue its tradition of faculty excellence in teaching and research.”
“Our faculty is a diverse, dedicated and remarkably skilled group of teachers who are recognized nationally and internationally for their legal expertise and scholarship,” says Dean Aviam Soifer. “Excellence in research and scholarship is vital to the law school’s ability to serve current and future law students and the entire community. We are particularly grateful to Carlsmith Ball for its leadership, partnership and investment in Hawai'i’s law school.”
