We’re waiting for confirmation on funding for our next round of Law School Admission Test (LSAT) preparation classes.

Ideally, we’ll be able to start an LSAT prep class somewhere between mid-February and March. This class will meet weekly in preparation for the June 7, 2010 LSAT. Again, this is determined on the availability of funding. More details will be shared as it is available.

Until then, anyone interested in participating in our LSAT Preparation class should download an application as well as subscribe to our e-mail list by going to www.bit.ly/LSATinfo The application due date is February 10, 2010. This means that the application should be received by our office on February 10.

Content: The 5 Full Day Workshop Includes:

• 100% Comprehensive LSAT Preparation


• Saturday Dinner and Q&A with Speaker (TBA)


• PreProBono Prelaw Social Mixer and Alumni Network


• Post Program Law School Application Assistance

Class: Class will run from 6pm – 10pm each day. The five day session covers the underlying theory of the LSAT and provides a comprehensive breakdown of each LSAT section and the attendant skills students need to master them. The student mixer, dinner and guest speaker event will take place following Friday’s class.

Instructor: The PreProBono instructor for these sessions is currently attending Harvard Law School. He scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT and is an ex-instructor for TestMasters, a leading nation-wide LSAT test prep company. He has over 2 years of experience teaching over 350 students. We’re not kidding around here, this is a severely discounted top quality LSAT prep course. Hear what past participants have to say about our program.

Law School Admission Test Preparation begins

This Saturday, Ka Huli Ao will begin its Law School Admission Test preparation program. Previously, the program was completed operated by the law student organization, ʻAhahui o Hawaiʻi with support from the William S. Richardson School of Law and Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law. We are confident that Ka Huli Ao will build upon the success of ʻAhahui o Hawaiʻi.

Initially, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs funded the program through grants. Now, Ka Huli Ao funds the program through its funding. The adoption of this program by Ka Huli Ao will help to keep the program sustainable and permanent as student leaders enroll and graduate from the law school.

Derek Kauanoe, a Ka Huli Ao Post-JD fellow who oversees the program, and Liam Skilling who conducts the classes are both excited for the incoming class. Previously, Liam and Derek worked on this program when it was managed by ʻAhahui o Hawaiʻi.

We have a good number of aspiring advocates for the Native Hawaiian community. Program participants have interests in various issues that include:

• foster care,
• the environment,
• culture,
• language,
• and traditional & customary rights.

Derek is excited to know that many of these program participants not only have an interest in these issues but have also been demonstrably active in the community.

We had an overwhelming response to our program this year. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate every applicant. We are exploring possibilities to offer another class this fall to prepare aspiring law school applicants for the December 2009 LSAT. Anyone interested should CLICK HERE and subscribe or join the e-mail. We use that e-mail list to provide program updates.

We will definitely keep you posted on updates regarding this group.
