Informational Briefing on the Rule of Law

 

The purpose of this informational briefing is to discuss the rule of law.  The World Justice Project defines the rule of law as "a durable system of laws, institutions, norms, and community commitment that delivers four universal principles: accountability, just law, open government, and accessible and impartial justice."  Recent presidential executive orders and policies raise questions about whether the current Administration is following federal law.  This informational briefing will examine that question and what effect federal government actions are having on Hawaiʻi residents.

 

1. Welcome and Introductions (10 mins)

 

2. U.S. Representative Ed Case, Hawaiʻi's First Congressional District (20 mins)

 

3. Questions from the Committee – 5 minutes per member for questions and answers (25 min)
