Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. xi, 324 pages. Illustrations. Index. Signed by both authors. Samuel Pailthorpe King (April 13, 1916-December 7, 2010) was an American lawyer and judge. He served as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii. In 1997, King joined with other respected senior civic leaders to publish the essay "Broken Trust" in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin newspaper. Co-authors were Judge Walter Heen, Monsignor Charles Kekumano, educator Gladys Brandt, and William S. Richardson School of Law Professor Randall W. Roth. The investigation prompted by the report resulted in the reorganization of the Kamehameha Schools. He and Roth co-authored a book expanding the essay, published in 2006. Professor Roth served on the law faculty from 1982 until 2017, and also served as President of the Hawai i State Bar Association, Hawai i Justice Foundation, Hawai i Institute for Continuing Legal Education and Hawai i Estate Planning Council, as co-director of the Hawai'i Innocence Project, and as Associate Reporter for the Restatement of the Law (Third) Trusts project of the American Law Institute; was a visiting professor at the University of Chicago and University of Wisconsin. Before joining the UH law faculty, Randy had been named Professor of the Year at two different law schools. While at the University of Hawaii he was named the law school's Professor of the Year several times and received Regents awards for teaching excellence and community service. This is a Latitude 20 Book. Foreword by Gladys Kamakakuokalani Brandt. Afterword by Jan Hanohano Dill. Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop was the largest landowner and richest woman in the Hawaiian kingdom. Upon her death in 1884, she entrusted her property-known as Bishop Estate-to five trustees in order to create and maintain an institution that would benefit the children of Hawai'i: Kamehameha Schools. A century later, Bishop Estate controlled nearly one out of every nine acres in the state, a concentration of private land ownership rarely seen anywhere in the world. Then in August 1997 the unthinkable happened: four revered kupuna (native Hawaiian elders) and a professor of trust-law publicly charged Bishop Estate trustees with gross incompetence and massive trust abuse. Entitled "Broken Trust, " the statement provided devastating details of rigged appointments, violated trusts, cynical manipulation of the trust's beneficiaries, and the shameful involvement of many of Hawai'i's powerful. No one is better qualified to examine the events and personalities surrounding the scandal than two of the original "Broken Trust" authors. Their comprehensive account together with historical background, brings to light information that has never before been made public, including accounts of secret meetings and communications involving Supreme Court justices.
