The Registrar would not accept our suggestion
to change the course description to “Dirt Law”
This spring, starting mid-January we’ve been back in a law classroom, this time at one of our law almae matres, the University of Hawaii School of Law in Honolulu.
The course is Land Use Management and Control, and we meet twice a week to earn either 3 or 4 credits (depending on how big a final paper the students want to write).
Hey, we know that fellow…
For Hawaii law students this is an essential course whether or not they intend to become dirt lawyers after graduation. Because land use law and policy cuts across almost all other areas of practice in the 808 (being a small place where land is a scarce commodity, property plays an oversize part in shaping policy, politics, and law), every law student should be taking the class.

Fill it with 100% pure Kona coffee, of course.
Our former viewpoint, when we were in
these seats (many years ago!).
A bimal bottle from a long-gone brand.
And since we’re on the topic of Hawaii, this. A bottle from a long-ago Hawaii soda company. This was gifted recently by a friend, who is a collector of, and an expert in, these type of things. This doesn’t have any direct relation to the Land Use course, but it seems like a good time to put up this interesting item, and to say mahalo for thinking to send it our way.
There might be another motivation for being in
Hawaii during the winter…
