The HSBA Leadership Institute is an eight-month program designed to identify and develop leaders in various sectors of Hawai‘i’s legal community. The selection process is competitive –only 15 individuals are selected for each class based on resume submissions and responses to the program application. The Institute encourages diversity among the leaders of the bar by recruiting and targeting members with 3-15 years of practice in Hawaii and having a keen interest in expanding their talents and services to the bar and community at large.

The goal of the HSBA Leadership Institute program is to develop emerging leaders for the legal community and the HSBA; expose qualified lawyers to different aspects of the legal profession; build long lasting relationships; and help participants gain skills to become better lawyers and leaders.
