The William S. Richardson School of Law<\/a>‘s\u00a0alumnae team won the iconic Ete Bowl<\/a>\u00a0in a hard fought 3-1 victory at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at\u00a0M\u0101noa<\/a> soccer field.<\/p>\n

This was the 40th annual flag football game in which current women law students, the Etes (green shirts), challenge an alumnae Bruzers (black shirts) team\u00a0to a good-natured grudge match.<\/p>\n

It all began back in 1978 as a way to forge solidarity at the fledgling law school and relieve some of the humdrum of winter studies.<\/p>\n

“Our students have truly embraced this athletic contest as a way to bring all the classes together and offer the opportunity to network with graduates,” said Acting Dean Melody K. MacKenzie<\/strong>. “But both sides are also extremely serious about winning.”<\/p>\n

In 2013, the game earned a high honor from the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Women Lawyers<\/a>,\u00a0which presented it with the\u00a0President’s Award for its\u00a0important networking role in connecting up-and-coming law students with seasoned attorneys working in the legal field.<\/p>\n

Those seasoned attorneys have included graduates\u00a0such as Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Supreme Court Associate Justice Sabrina McKenna<\/strong> and retired Judge Riki Amano<\/strong>,\u00a0who served as a District and Circuit Court judge. Both have been staunch supporters and players over the years.<\/p>\n
