Professor Stephanie M. Wildman (Professor of Law and Director, Center for Social Justice and Public Service) brings a bit of Santa Clara Law to Hawaii this January.
This January, Professor Wildman is teaching a course at UH Law on "Law and Social Justice" a mini version of the "Law and Social Justice" course [link to http://lawscuedustage.wpengine.com/academics/courses/cor_1146.html taught by Professor Wildman every fall at Santa Clara. Professor Wildman also gave a talk to the University of Hawaii’s law faculty about the Public Interest and Social Justice Certificate offered at Santa Clara and about Santa Clara’s Center for Social Justice and Public Service [link to http://lawscuedustage.wpengine.com/socialjustice/index.html].
Professor Wildman reports that she also met with Legal Services lawyers in Honolulu. “Equal access to legal services is an issue everywhere, but lawyers in Hawaii face special problems. One of my students comes from an island with only one lawyer.”
On January 27, 2006, Professor Wildman and Professor Joseph Singer (Harvard) addressed members of the Hawaii State Bar Association on “Social Justice and Ownership” at the Hawaii State Bar Association’s "Fourth Fridays" monthly lecture series. Professor Wildman spoke on the founding of Centers for Social Justice, the topic of her recent article published by the Journal of Legal Education.
