Case Lombardi & Pettit is the proud sponsor of the William S. Richardson School of Law's Jurists-In-Residence Program. The Jurists-In-Residence Program brings distinguished jurists to the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaii at Manoa to meet with students, faculty, the judiciary and the bar in a special educational setting.

Initiated in 1987, the Jurists-in-Residence Program enables local students and the community to exchange ideas with the country's leading jurists. Past participants include Associate Justices Antonin Scalia, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Paul Stevens, Anthony M. Kennedy and Byron White.

The 2004 Jurists-in-Residence Program welcomed the return of United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Senior Judge Myron H. Bright, United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Justice Ginsburg and Judge Bright engaged in a series of conversations, lectures, and symposiums during the week-long event.

The Firm also supports the University of Hawaii Law School by contributing to its Faculty Excellence Fund. The Fund seeks to provide high quality legal education for the law school students and to better serve our community.
