WILLIAM L. STANLEY, Lawyer and Jurist. Coming to Hawaii from his native 
Ireland when a youth, Judge William L. Stanley began the study of law here in 
the office of A. S. Hartwell, a noted Honolulu lawyer. He had previously 
attended Dover College, Dover, England; Rathmines School in Dublin and Trinity 
College, Dublin. At the latter institution he had been enrolled in the arts 
and laws school from 1889 to 1893. He progressed rapidly in his law studies in 
Honolulu and was admitted to practise by the Supreme Court of Hawaii in 1895.
  For a year he was a partner in the firm of Hartwell, Thurston and Stanley, 
which from 1896 to 1897 was known as Thurston & Stanley.
  There followed a three-year period when Mr. Stanley retired from his private 
law practise to sit upon the First Circuit bench. He was a judge in that court 
from October, 1897, to July, 1900.
  For the next fifteen years Judge Stanley practised in association with Henry 
Holmes, in the firm of Holmes & Stanley, later Holmes, Stanley and Olson. In 
1916 the firm was Stanley & Wilder, and then Judge Stanley practised alone 
until May 1, 1920, when the partnership of Smith, Warren and Stanley was 
formed, now Smith, Warren, Stanley & Vitousek.
  Judge Stanley is a member of the University, Oahu Country and Pacific Clubs. 
He is a past master of Honolulu Lodge of Masons, a Shriner and a member of the 
Chiefs of Hawaii.
  He was born in Dublin, Ireland, March 5, 1872, the son of James Charles and 
Katharine (Lucas) Stanley. In 1896 he married Juanita Danford and they have 
four children, Charles Demond, Eileen Dermot and Brian Henry Stanley.
