The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>‘s<\/a> William S. Richardson School of Law<\/a> is moving forward in partnering with the state Department of Land and Natural Resources<\/a> (DLNR<\/abbr>) to attract private grant funding for a new training academy to develop much-needed enforcement officers in the Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

This initiative received strong support this year from the governor and legislature, which provided $500,928 for the academy.<\/p>\n

DOCARE<\/abbr>‘s mission is to uphold local laws that protect the state’s natural, historic and cultural environments.<\/p>\n

In 2017, a private grant of $148,000 received by law school from the philanthropic Harold K.L. Castle Foundation<\/a> in K\u0101neʻohe<\/span> provided critically needed consulting work by a national authority on conservation officer enforcement training. This grant allowed DOCARE<\/abbr> to design a new officer training academy to build legal enforcement capacity in the state.<\/p>\n

Since 2013, the law school has received additional private and federal grants, totaling around $490,000 (including from the Castle Foundation), which have supported six full-time fellowships for law school graduates in DOCARE<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

The law school has been instrumental in building environmental enforcement capacity through a training academy and a series of fellowships for law graduates.<\/p>\n

Associate Dean Denise Antolini<\/strong><\/a> says the decade-long partnership with DLNR<\/abbr> is an important way to achieve increased protection of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>‘s fragile environment, which is under pressure from invasive species, climate change and record usage by visitors.<\/p>\n
