Douglas Chin, a local attorney and managing director of the city under former Mayor Peter Carlisle, will be Hawaii’s attorney general.
Chin has also worked for 12 years at the city Prosecuting Attorney’s office. He will be leaving his post as managing partner at Carlsmith Ball. He’s earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Stanford University, and a law degree from the University of Hawaii.
“He is able to defend the state in court, facilitate and negotiate agreements, manage a large department and communicate well,” Ige said in a statement. “It’s rare to find someone who can do all those things.”
Doug is a partner in the firm's Corporate, Administrative Law, and Litigation practice groups. His areas of practice include renewable energy and clean technology projects, land use and development projects, government relations, mediation, white collar criminal defense, and commercial litigation. In October 2014, Doug was appointed to serve as a managing partner of Carlsmith Ball.

Very interesting pick. Gonna take some getting used to. I do hope he is a fan of deductive reasoning.[
