In addition to advancing scholarship in the Asian-Pacific region, our journal also offers insight into the legal and political issues of this region. As an online journal, we provide an electronic medium that allows individuals from all over the world to easily access articles written on pertinent issues surrounding the Asian-Pacific region. Moreover, we continue to strive to bring our audience case and statute translations, which are otherwise unavailable in English. Rated second among Asian law journals by Washington and Lee, the Asian-Pacific Law & Policy Journal is once again proud to publish the scholarly works of foreign law experts from around Asia and the Pacific. In our first article, Professor Alison W. Conner of the Faculty of Law at our University of Hawaii's William S. Richardson School of Law discusses the broad legal concerns illustrated by social themes in contemporary Chinese film. In our next article, James Perry Eyster, Assistant Clinical Professor and Director of Asylum and Immigrants Rights Clinic at Ave Maria Law School, recounts his experience as a Visiting Professor at Peking University School of Transnational Law. The author analyzes the effective methods of legal instruction in China by conveying the process and results of a legal practice project comparing the Greek tragedy Antigone and Melfi v. Mount Sinai Hospital, a recent New York case. In our next article, Naomi Johnstone, Research Counsel for the Chief Judge of the Waitangi Tribunal and Maori Land Court in Aotearoa, New Zealand, examines Indonesia's Indigenous peoples' customary forest rights in the wake of the REDD scheme (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation in Developing Countries) against the global legal pluralism framework. In our next article, Justice Margaret McMurdo AC, President of the Court of Appeal, Supreme Court of Queensland, and Jodi Gardner, an associate at Clayton Utz Solicitors, describes the unique qualities of Pacific Island land rights. The authors discuss the tension between the traditional concept of land rights within the Pacific Island communities and international law. In our first comment, Natasha Baldauf, Juris Doctor Candidate, William S. Richardson School of Law, depicts the controversy of the pending construction of the Rail Project. The author specifically addresses the legal and cultural implications of the Rail's construction at the expense of disturbing and destroying iwi kilpuna (ancestral bones).
