Abstract

Conrad named women attorneys in Hawaii who were not active here; Queen Ka' ahumanu was credited with the beginning of modem law and justice in the Hawaiian Kingdom; women lay lawyers of the territorial courts were noted; and Emma Metcalf Beckley Nakuina was recognized as a commissioner to adjudicate water rights from 1892 to 1907.A correction is necessary concerning the names of Samuel Wilder King and Samuel Pailthorpe King, father and son. On page 83, Samuel P. King should not have "Jr." after his name. On page 193, the name should be Samuel W. King.
