COMING TUESDAY: AVI SOIFER, DEAN OF UH-MANOA’S SCHOOL OF LAW
August 18th, 2008 by Jeanne Mariani-BeldingTo say there’s much happening at the university’s law school would be an understatement — that’s according to Avi Soifer, dean of the University of Hawaii-Manoa’s William S. Richardson School of Law.
Indeed, he’s right. The law school kicks off its new part-time, evening program Tuesday with the orientation of its inaugural class. Add to that the school's Lehua Program, which focuses on students who have leadership promise who have overcome adversity; the school’s Native Hawaiian Law Center, with its community outreach; the Pacific and Asian Law program; and its award-winning Environmental Law Program. Clearly, there’s much to talk about.
So now’s your chance. Soifer will join us live on The Hot Seat from noon to 1 p.m; he’ll answer your questions live during the hour.
To join the conversation, just watch for the new posting that will go up at noon and post your questions there. If you can’t make the live session, you can e-mail your questions to me in advance at jmbelding@honoluluadvertiser.com
See you Tuesday at noon, with law school dean Avi Soifer.

Question to Avi Soifer:
Who will be teaching the new night-time courses? Any chance of moving to some online courses, either for day or night classes?
