I am a Professor of Law at the William S. Richardson School of Law, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, and a Fellow of the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL).

My scholarship explores the intersections of property law, copyright, land use, and sustainable development, with a focus on building legal structures that promote creativity, justice, and human flourishing.

Through my research, writing, and global collaborations, I am committed to advancing a future where law serves as a catalyst for sustainable development and positive social transformation.

My current projects include writings on the moral architecture of legal systems, the creative reuse of limited resources, and the development of sustainable models for justice and governance.
