King Hall Connections in Hawaii

It is always great seeing UC Davis School of Law alums around the country, and that includes the Aloha State. Here in Hawaii, I am visiting alumni, building connections for our school, and networking at the UC Davis vs. Hawaii football game tomorrow.

My trip began with a tsunami advisory from my hotel in Honolulu! Luckily, I’ve only witnessed calm waters so far.

Yesterday, it was wonderful to meet with an alum who was a student in my first Civil Procedure class during the fall semester of 1989. Caroline Otani '92, a graduate of the University of Hawaii, left Oahu to test out California. She’s now a senior partner at Rush Moore LLP in Honolulu where she specializes in real estate law.  Richard Ekimoto '83 and his lovely wife Lois also attended a reception for alums in downtown Honolulu. We talked about his memories of the welcome BBQ on a typically warm Davis summer night. Richard is the founding partner of Ekimoto & Morris LLC, a highly successful Hawaii law firm.

The UC Davis football team has arrived at in Waikiki and the excitement for the game is building. Tonight, we have a reception for all UC Davis alums and friends who are in Oahu for the occasion. The big game is tomorrow. Go Ags!
