Aloha,
Pursuant to the public records law, I would like to request the following records in electronic format sent to my email address.
I am requesting documents from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa William S. Richardson School of Law. The documents are not to be used for a commercial purpose; rather they are for educational/research purposes.
Each year, every American Bar Association (ABA) accredited law school submits an Annual Questionnaire (AQ) and/or Bar Passage Questionnaire (BPQ) to the ABA.
I am requesting copies of the pages of the AQ or BPQ submitted by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa William S. Richardson School of Law for each of the years 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, reporting (1) first-time bar passage rates by race/ethnicity & gender and (2) ultimate bar passage rate by race/ethnicity & gender.
This data will likely be reported in a chart.
I am also requesting copies of the page of the AQ or BPQ in which the school lists the number of students receiving accommodations for the same years: 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
In responding, please be sure that the documents provided indicate the submission year.
All law schools keep copies of these reports and the portions of the documents should encompass no more than a few pages each year.
As copies of these reports are usually kept electronically in pdf format, to keep costs low, I request that pdfs be provided as opposed to physical copies. Although, if physical copies are the only versions available, those will be acceptable as well.
If the cost of duplication exceeds $20, please notify me before providing the information.
IF SEEKING PUBLIC INTEREST WAIVER, PROVIDE PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT BELOW THIS LINE
Mahalo,
Scott DeVito
