Elizabeth Jubin Fujiwara is one of the foremost labor law attorneys in Hawaii, and pioneered much of the sexual discrimination laws in Hawaii. She launched her law firm, which concentrates in employment and civil rights litigation as well as entertainment law, in 1986.
She was a founding author of Our Rights, Our Lives - A Guide to Women's Rights in Hawaii (Hawaii Women Lawyers, 1991 and 1996.) She is the author of numerous articles in publications including the University of Hawaii Law Review and Trial Magazine.

Since that project, Elizabeth has been actively involved with musicians, authors, screen writers, film producers, and video production and record company executives.
