Saturday in Paradise

This morning, law students had the chance to enjoy "Coffee with Experience," an opportunity to meet with senior lawyers over breakfast. The LSD assembly will soon be convening, where several resolutions pending before the House of Delegates will be discussed. Stephen Lessard, LSD Liaison to the ABA Standing Committee on Legal Assistance for Military Personnel, also has a recommendation before the assembly to develop procedures for providing potential military clients to law school clinical programs and for law students and faculty to volunteer and support Operation Enduring LAMP. For more details on today's assembly, see the LSD Assembly Guide.

The Opening Assembly for all ABA members is this afternoon at the Sheraton Waikiki. Tonight's President's Reception at the Sheraton and Royal Hawaiian hotel & pool areas is sold out (last I heard). No worries, though, the IP Section, along with SciTech and the Hawaii State Bar are co-sponsoring a reception at the Halekulani, and the PUCAT is also hosting its own reception in the Royal Hawaiian, so you're sure to find a place to wind down with fellow attendees after a busy day.

P.S. If anyone else is still trying to find a way to use those great beach towels and sunscreen between events, here's a tip: head south just a few blocks from the Convention Center and Ala Moana Hotel to Ala Moana Beach Park. I was surprised to find it wasn't nearly as crowded as Waikiki Beach when I stopped by yesterday. You might even run into some friendly locals serving up some freshly caught fish :-) Until tomorrow... Aloha!
