My Damon Key colleague Rebecca A. Copeland has launched a new blog focused on appellate issues in Hawaii and elsewhere. Appropriately titled “The Record on Appeal,” Rebecca’s blog starts off with this post, and quickly moves on to substance, analyzing the Hawaii Supreme Court’s recent decision on the legality of state worker furloughs.
Rebecca should be familar to the readers of this blog, as she recently guest-blogged on Justice Recktenwald’s Intermediate Court of Appeals opinions, and was our person-on-the-scene when we live blogged the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearings on the appointment of Katherine Leonard as Chief Justice. Rebecca’s background gives her special insight into appellate issues; prior to joining Damon Key, she was a Deputy Solicitor General for the State of Hawaii, where she argued important appeals for the State, and she has argued cases in the Hawaii and Texas appellate courts, as well as the Fifth and Ninth Circuit.
