Hawaii Legal Conference 2014
3-12 January 2014
In January 2014 we travelled to Hawaii for our conference on Current Issues for Lawyers – an Australian/US Perspective.
The conference started on the beautiful island of Kauai. We then travelled to Honolulu on the island of Oahu, staying at the magnificent Hyatt overlooking the famed Waikiki Beach.
We were privileged to enjoy presentations by Justice Sabrina McKenna, Chief Justice of Hawaii, a number of very colourful and informative local lawyers, who spoke to us on a range of topics from native title claims in Hawaii, to poverty law, to contemporary issues for the practice of law in Hawaii. Australian presenters included Justice Clifford Hoeben, Chief Judge at Common Law, Supreme Court of New South Wales, Judges Driver and Coakes of the Federal Circuit Court, Jeremy Gormly SC and Jeffrey Phillips SC.
Papers from our Hawaii conference are available on this website.
