Haw. R. Sup. Ct. 7.6

As amended through June 28, 2024
Rule 7.6 - Duration of law-student intern authorization and compensation limitations
(a) The law-student intern may continue to serve so long as the lawstudent intern is enrolled in a clinical program or is participating in a law practicum as defined by Rule 7.2 of these Rules; authorization to serve shall cease upon any removal of good standing of the supervising attorney or lawstudent intern or the termination of such enrollment or participation. The supervising attorney shall file at the supreme court a written notice of any change in the good-standing status of either the supervising attorney or the law-student intern and shall similarly file a written notice of the law-student intern's departure from enrollment in the clinical program or participation in the law practicum. After graduation, the law-student intern may continue to represent a client in cases initiated before graduation if such representation is deemed appropriate by the supervising lawyer, but in no case shall the continued representation under this Rule extend beyond the swearing-in date of the next bar examination.
(b) A law-student intern shall neither ask for nor receive any compensation or remuneration directly from the client for services rendered to a client, but this shall not prevent a supervising lawyer, a law school, or public agency from paying compensation to a law-student intern or from making such charges for services as such lawyer, law school, or public agency may otherwise properly require.
