In Chambers: Judicial Imprints on Hawai‘i’s History
Masukawa will discuss the effect of the “modern” court system in displacing traditional native customs in Hawaiʻi and creating a system that favored the foreigner. In this context, he offers explanations for post-Statehood court decisions that attempt to redeem and mitigate the losses sustained by natives, with a hope to achieve what Kauikeaouli or Kamehameha III might have desired for his people. Masukawa is a member of the Hawai‘i State Bar and a practicing attorney in Kailua-Kona for over 35 years.
