Criminal Defense, Sexual Assault: Ken Lawson
For decades, accusations of sexual assault have chased Bill Cosby. As last year came to a close, one case brought an 11th hour indictment before a 12 year statute of limitations expired. The celebrity aside, we wondered how tough it is now to bring a case of rape and if many of the issues victims have faced in past are still barriers. Ken Lawson teaches Criminal Procedure; Criminal Law and Evidence; Professional Responsibility; Evidence; and, the Business of Law Practice at the William S. Richardson Law School and he joins us now. As an attorney in private practice in Ohio, he was lead counsel in more than a hundred criminal trials, and litigated numerous civil rights and police misconduct cases.

What can an arts organization do to keep the creative spirit alive and growing in its own community? Should it promote all artists equally, or should it seek to raise standards, educate, and set the stage for the artistic growth of generations to come? Arts Maui was founded to improve public awareness of the island’s artists, with the additional goal of challenging its members to keep pushing themselves to a level that invites comparison with any artists, anywhere. Arts Maui is preparing a 2016 season, and Board member Jim Powlan is on the line to tell us about it. Jim Powlan is a Maui-based printmaker and a member of the Board of Art Maui, whose 2016 exhibition is set for late March. Art Maui’s annual symposium is set for February 20th at 2pm in the Maui Arts and Cultural Center’s Alexa Higashi Meeting Room. In it, multi-media artist and interactive designer Maia Marinelli will present Creative Tools for Artists and Other Creative Minds.

Maui Fringe Fest: Michael Pulliam
It seems odd to call fringe festivals a “tradition,” because they’re pretty anti-traditional in nature, but they’re been around now for almost seventy years, providing audiences around the world the opportunity to go to the boundaries of what they know as theater and then go a few steps beyond. The shows are so eclectic that something is bound to catch your imagination and that’s the kind of show Michael Pulliam has put together with the weekend-long “Maui Fringe Theater Festival 2016.” He’s joined us on the phone to give us a preview. Michael Pulliam is the producer of the Maui OnStage production of the “Maui Fringe Theater Festival 2016,” a weekend marathon of the performing arts, January 22 through 24 at the Historic Iao Theater.
