Aloha CAL-ABOTA Friends: We are thrilled to be returning to Maui and the Fairmont Kea Lani for an extraordinary conference week and to celebrate this year?s Trial Lawyer of the Year, Joe McMonigle of the San Francisco Chapter. Perched on one of Maui?s most coveted stretches of shoreline, the luxe setting of the Fairmont Kea Lani is an enviable tropical paradise. Wake up each morning to gentle waves lapping at the shore, swaying palms singing in the trade winds and expansive views of turquoise waters stretching all the way to the horizon. Only steps away from your suite is Polo Beach renowned for its golden soft sand, calm swimming, excellent snorkeling and tranquil sunsets.
