The Hawai`i State Judiciary is sponsoring a free public informational session, “How and When to Use a Lawyer and How to Find One,” from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 20, in the Supreme Court conference room, 417 South King Street in Honolulu.

Speaking will be Associate Judge Daniel R. Foley, who has served since 2000 on the state Intermediate Court of Appeals. Prior to his appointment as a judge, he was a partner for 11 years in the law firm of Partington & Foley, where he handled federal and state civil rights cases. He also was an adjunct professor of civil rights at the University of Hawaii’s William S. Richardson School of Law.
