29th Annual Sidebar Program

May 31, 2024

Young lawyers and summer associates are invited to participate in the 2024 Sidebar Program organized by AJS on Thursday, July 25, 2024, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court. 

The Sidebar Program traditionally features a panel of Hawaiʻi state and federal court judges discussing issues often faced by young attorneys.  This year’s program will include a timely discussion on the challenges presented by artificial intelligence in the legal profession.  Small-group discussions and a reception will follow the panel presentation.

AJS is pleased to announce a Maui Pilot Program that will be part of this year’s event. It will allow attendees on the Valley Isle to remotely view the panel discussion in the Second Circuit Court, Hoapili Hale in Wailuku, which will be followed by an in-person discussion and reception with judges from the Second Circuit.  

The Honorable Mark E. Recktenwald, Chief Justice of the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court, will once again moderate this year’s panel of distinguished jurists comprised of Hawaiʻi Supreme Court Associate Justice Vladimir P. Devens, First Circuit Court Judge Lisa W. Cataldo, First Circuit District Court Judge Karin L. Holma, First Circuit Court Judge John M. Tonaki, and United States Magistrate Judge Wes Reber Porter.

Summer associates and young lawyers in practice for three years or less are encouraged to attend this informative event. 

Click here to register or complete and mail the form below. The registration fee is $25.00 for Neighbor Island Young Lawyers/Summer Associates; $30.00 for Young Government Lawyers, $40 for Summer Associates, and $50.00 for Young Lawyers.  A one-year AJS membership is included in the registration fee.
