handle is hein.journals/aplpj9 and id is 1 raw text is: Editor's Note The Asian-Pacific Law & Policy Journal is distinguished by its unique focus on legal issues germane to East Asia and the islands of the Pacific. Our objective is not only to advance scholarship on the region, but also to offer a lens into this part of the world for non-specialists who stand to benefit from its rich legal traditions and developments (and to this end we have offered translations of statutes and cases, and scholarship otherwise unavailable in English). We are also an electronic journal with a readership and authorship that literally spans the world. Upon this foundation, the editorial staff of the Journal's ninth volume has been hard at work behind the scenes to improve this important forum for both our readers and authors. First, we have refined the scope of the Journal to include articles, book reviews, essays, and comments on current topics in comparative and transnational law with regard to the following countries or geographic entities: Australia, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, China (including Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macau Special Administrative Region), East Timor, Fiji, Hawai'i, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, Laos, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, Nauru, New Zealand, North Korea, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and Vietnam. Second, in line with the electronic format of our Journal, we have moved to an all-electronic submissions model. Submissions are now accepted on an ongoing basis via e-mail. Manuscripts received by March 31 have priority consideration for winter publication, and those received by October 31 have priority for spring publication. Third, we are in the process of revising our website to improve both its aesthetic qualities and usability. Look for changes concomitant with the publication of our Spring 2008 issue. More details about these and other changes can be found on our website. Now let us turn to the current issue. In March of this year former Co-Editor-in-Chief Daryl Takeno (Class of 2007) and current Managing Editor Marissa Lum (3L) jet from balmy island trade winds for the late-winter chill of southern Japan to attend Kyushu University's Annual Law Conference at the invitation of the university's Faculty of the Law. The conference was entitled Corporate Governance in East Asia: Is Convergence on the Anglo- American Model the Future? Inspired by the unique opportunity to meet with scholars and practitioners from countries throughout the Journal's region of focus, Daryl and Marissa returned to Hawai'i with commitments from several of the conference presenters to publish their papers in the Journal. We are fortunate to begin our ninth volume with the views of five conference presenters on developments in corporate governance in
