Margery Bronster served as Attorney General of Hawaii from 1995 to 1999, the first woman to hold the office for a full term. During her tenure in the administration of Governor of Hawaii Benjamin J. Cayetano, she won the state a multibillion dollar settlement from tobacco companies and led an investigation into abuses related to the Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate. It was her investigation of Bishop Estate trustees that caused her to fall out of favor with the Hawaii State Legislature resulting in her failed confirmation to a second term by the senate.
Bronster graduated from Columbia University Law School in 1982. She went into private practice for Shearman & Sterling in New York City in litigation. She moved to Honolulu, Hawaii and joined the firm Carlsmith Ball Wichman Murray Case & Ichiki.
