AN ALTER-NATIVE COURT FOR HAWAI‘I: Exploring The Needs and Possibilities
Ka Huli Ao Post-J.D. Fellow, Ka‘ano‘i Walk leads a discussion on the idea of a Native court in Hawai‘i. Is there a need for a Native Court? What jurisdiction could such a court have? How do Native courts operate in other settings? Ka‘ano‘i is joined in the discussion by T.J. Quan, a practicing attorney, currently working with the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, who has also represented Native Hawaiians in both criminal and civil courts. Ka‘ano‘i is also joined Colin Kippen, a Native Hawaiian and a former tribal court judge for the Suquamish Tribe.
Maoli Thursday is a lunchtime Forum & Speaker Series held every first Thursday of the month. The event will be live streamed at http://kahuliao.com. Lunch provided if you RSVP by Wednesday, April 1 to nhlawctr@hawaii.edu.
