Justice, at last Naoto Kobayashi, with his 5-year-old son Koji on his lap, watches as his great-grandfather, Takuji Yamashita of the UW Law School’s Class of 1902, is posthumously inducted into the state Bar at a ceremony last Thursday. Seventeen of Yamashita’s descendants and more than 250 others witnessed the induction by the state Supreme Court - moved at the last minute from the high court’s earthquake-damaged Olympia headquarters to the U.S. Courthouse in Tacoma. The event was part of the Law School’s centennial observances. Yamashita, a member of the school’s second class, had been denied the right to practice law because of his Japanese origins.

Post-quake scenes Medical centers remained in operation; T wing temporarily closed for clean-up Both UW Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center remained open immediately after the earthquake, with three quake-related injuries treated at UWMC and 27 at Harborview, the region’s only Level 1 Trauma Center. Most damage around the Health Sciences Center was minor, including cracker plaster and downed ceiling tiles. The T wing was closed Thursday (photo above) and some sections remained closed until Monday to clean up asbestos fibers released by the earthquake. Plaster cracks in medical center areas were immediately sealed with bright blue tape, creating some patterns that could pass for abstract art works. Photos by Gavin Sisk
