The Hawai‘i legal community and others join the William S. Richardson School of Law and its alumni in expressing our gratitude for the vision, wisdom, humility and perseverance exemplified by the late William S. Richardson. Over 2,500 men and women – many from underrepresented, minority, and Native Hawaiian communities – are now practicing law in the public and private sectors, holding elected office, leading community and legal service organizations, teaching law, and serving in the judiciary because of C.J. Richardson’s dream of providing an excellent legal education for the future leaders of Hawai‘i, the Pacific, and indeed, the world.

We join as one in our heart-felt admiration and aloha for our colleague, friend, teacher, and guide -- the humble man who literally changed the face of law in Hawai‘i. We extend our collective mahalo nui loa to C.J. Richardson for his enduring contributions to everyone in Hawai‘i and for standing as a “torch of wisdom” for us all.

Gratefully acknowledging those whose contributionsmade this special tribute possible:

Please join us in further honoring the memory of Chief Justice Richardson and help us carry his legacy forward through a contribution to the WSR - Realizing the Dream Fund, a University of Hawai‘i Foundation
