Margery S. Bronster (born December 12, 1957)〔()〕 is a lawyer who served as Attorney General of Hawaii from 1995 to 1999. ==Career== Bronster graduated from Brown University, where she became fluent in Mandarin Chinese, and then Columbia University Law School in 1982. She went into private practice for Shearman & Sterling in New York City in litigation. She moved to Honolulu, Hawaii in 1988 and joined the firm Carlsmith Ball Wichman Murray Case & Ichiki. That law firm is now known as Carlsmith Ball, LLP. In 1995 she was appointed as the first woman to hold the office of Attorney General of Hawaii for a full term. During her tenure in the Democratic administration of Governor of Hawaii Benjamin J. Cayetano, she won the state a multibillion-dollar Master Settlement Agreement from tobacco companies. In 1997 she led an investigation into abuses by the Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate trustees. She was reappointed to a second term by Cayetano but her investigation of Bishop Estate trustees caused her to fall out of favor with the Hawaii State Legislature, resulting in her failed confirmation to a second term by the senate in 1999. She was replaced as Attorney General by Earl I. Anzai, who was formerly budget director. Bronster then became a name partner in the Honolulu-based Bronster Crabtree & Hoshibata, later Bronster Hoshibata. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margery Bronster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
