Hawaiʻi National Native American Law Students Association Moot Court Team
The new members of the William S. Richardson School of Lawʻs Native American Moot Court Team have been selected. This year proved to be another grueling process for tryout judges, Professors Melody MacKenzie, Williamson Chang (advisor), and Carl Christensen. Each year a good number of students tryout for the team. Selecting the new team members was no easy task as numerous law students tried-out and were quite good in their advocacy skills. Tryouts were conducted over the course of two days earlier this month.
Pictured. Back row: *Mark Kaetsu, Chasid Sapolu, *Max Kopper, *David Kopper, Uilisone Tuʻa, *Keani Alapa, Jesse Smith. Front row: Captain Kaʻupena Soon, Lahela Hite, *Jeannin Russo, *Malia Gibson, *Sherilyn Tavares, and Scott Shishido.

Our team participates annually in the National Native American Law Students Association Moot Court Competition. This year the competition (in its 18th year) will be held in Vermillion, South Dakota, February 19-20, 2009. More information about the competition is available at www.usdnalsa.org.
Last year, the Richardson duo of Ann Otteman and Jesse Smith captured Second Place in last yearʻs overall category (Best Advocates) at the competition held in Boulder, Colorado. In the past five years Richardson teams have performed well in the competition. In the years 2007-2009, Richardson teams ascended to the final oral argument round of the competition. In 2005 and 2006, Richardson teams placed Second and Third respectively for Best Brief. (see the teamʻs track record below) Prior to these years, Richardson teams consistently performed well.

Note although this event is Free and Open to the Public one needs to RSVP to nhlawctr@hawaii.edu by 11/3/09. This event will live-streamed!!!!!
People on Kauai, have not been informed yet--especially those on that are on the frontline with this issue. Hopefully, by the time this event happens that more people on Kauai will know about the panel and be able to participate with the live audience on Oahu. Students in the audience will probably hear of this autrocity on that day for the first time. Eventhough this 'evil' of building ones home on 100 plus bodies had passed the burial council, governing entities, and the populace--Bracia and his workers should spend time behind jail for this abuse that is done to all aboriginal peoples of the world. For this problem should be shared with the world not just with the general public here in Hawaii. The time that this panel will be on which is 12:45 pm most people in all of Hawaii will be at work on that day. This panel is not intended to educate the masses, just a few students and the panelist. Looking forward to viewing this event at a later date. Kaohi
