(Hawaiian) ''Above all nations is humanity'' | aba profile = (William S. Richardson School of Law Profile ) | logo = File:Richardson Logo.jpg }} The University of Hawaii at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law is a public law school located in the U.S. state of Hawaii in Honolulu. Named after its patriarch, former Hawaii State Supreme Court Chief Justice William S. Richardson, a zealous advocate of Hawaiian culture, it is the state's only law school. Likely reflecting its importance to Hawaii and embracing the state's unique social and cultural values, Richardson's mission is to be "a collaborative, multicultural community preparing students for excellence in the practice of law and related careers that advance justice and the rule of law." To this end, Richardson's regime of legal studies places special emphasis on fields of law of particular importance to Hawaii and the surrounding Pacific and Asian region, including Native Hawaiian Law, Pacific-Asian Legal Studies, Environmental Law, and maritime law. A member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), the school is accredited by the Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar Association (ABA). It offers a Juris Doctor, with certificates available in Native Hawaiian Law, Pacific-Asian Legal Studies, and Environmental Law, with students able to matriculate either full-time or part-time. It also offers an Advanced Juris Doctor, for foreign students who have earned a law degree abroad, and a LLM. For 2016, ''U.S. News & World Report'' ranked Richardson amongst the nation's top law schools at 82.〔 Richardson's part-time program was ranked 30th. Notably, Richardson is the smallest law school ranked in the top tier. ==William S. Richardson== (詳細はHawaii State Supreme Court Chief Justice, William S. Richardson, the school's patriarch, was known for his fierce advocacy of Hawaiian culture, departing from western legal tradition to shape the state's emerging canon of law to reflect its own unique customs via numerous landmark decisions.〔 The establishment of the Law School in 1973, was widely considered Richardson's crowning career achievement. For many years, he had pressed the Hawaii State Legislature for its creation, arguing that the state would benefit by providing a legal education for its residents that enveloped its cultural customs—because they had the greatest stake in constructing the state's legal traditions going forward as such. At his retirement, the Law School was named in his honor. 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「William S. Richardson School of Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
