That’s an amazing result for a moot that contained 56 teams! Well done to all involved. I think there will always be legal work regarding protection and equality for indigenous groups around the world, so these students are learning a valuable skill that can be put to good use throughout their career.

How many law schools are there in Hawaii? I’m interested because I’ve heard that school ranking can play a significant part of the kind of jobs students with a graduate diploma in law can acheive straight out of school… although it’s a US state, I would imagine the choice is much more limited than the mainland due to the isolation of the territory. But then, on the the hand, there aren’t all those mainland law students to up the competition and make finding a job difficult.

I am interested in having students help me find amended pleading information and how to counter claim, cross claim complaint pleading information. Any information on how I might find students interested in this practice.

Congratulations to all who participated. I am a lawyer in Vancouver, Canada who practices in the field of what is generally referred to in Canada as Aboriginal law. I put out a newsletter comparing Aboriginal law issues in Canada with Native Hawaiian legal issues. I would be greatly interested in reading the written arguments that were filed in the moot and doing an edition of my newsletter devoted to that topic. I pursue no particular ideological agenda in my newsletter, but try to give a balanced account of interest to practitioners who act for Aboriginal groups, governments and private industry alike.
