STEFAN ROZEMBERSKY v. HAWAI BAR COMMISSION (2017)

ORDER

Upon consideration of Petitioner Stefan Rozembersky's Petition for Writ of Mandamus,¹ Statement of Facts, Statement of Issues and Relief Sought, and Statement of Reasons for Issuing the Writ filed on January 4, 2017:

(1) Petitioner petitions the court to:

(a) amend certain supreme rules related to examination and admission to the State bar;

(b) allow attorneys, who are admitted and in good standing in another state, take the Hawai'i bar examination, regardless of law school accreditation;

(c) allow for “waiver by motion” which would allow applicant attorneys admission to the Hawai'i bar without examination; and (d) award Petitioner costs and reasonable attorneys' fees associated with bringing this matter before the court.

(2) A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that will not issue unless the Petitioner demonstrates a clear and indisputable right to relief. Straub Clinic & Hospital v. Kochi, 81 Hawai'i 410, 414, 917 P.2d 1284, 1288 (1996).

(3) Petitioner fails to demonstrate that he has a clear and indisputable right to the relief requested. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for a writ of mandamus is denied.
