歌
"彼が負うべき性質によって形成されていない人には何も起こらない。"
愛が私の記憶を太陽の下で鳴らしてこの日を元気づけるだけの時間の幅で詩を歌ったとしたら、
悲しみは雨しか降らない
サーブと一緒にご飯は地球上の唯一の栄養のほんの一部です、
心臓が手のひらにあるほど深さは大きくなりました、
手を深くこれはただの作品です。
東から遠く離れているのは唯一の隠れ家の島です。
青が暴風雨に、そして多くがまだ無駄のない緑です。 。 。 。
私は過去の私の墓だけを靴に真似するために真鍮を
Thor's Hammerを手に入れるにはなんて偽造でしょう。
これらの瞬間は、海が愛の雨で歌ったように、
まだ。 。 。
ああ、愛の力が太陽を上げるのは、
あなたのために、太陽が消えている多くの世界が朝の盛り上がりで上昇しています。
私の親愛なる発見した人の笑顔これはこの地球の時代からのものです
これはナビゲーションです。
極東はバターで、西は私たちが出会っていない場所です。
南は夜明けの方向に過ぎません、
北の私の友人は妻と娘であり、笑顔は車線でなければならない、
足首で、私はあなたの名前のバランスを保持するために膝の時です、
これはサンフランシスコです。
バーバリーコースト、
ある種の学習の窓があったはずのものへの早い時期、
私は傾いているのを見た、
なぜなら、私たちの時代を通して、その土地は砂粒ではないからです。
ビーチだけです。
徳は桜の花以上のものを育てました、
教えられている風に耳を傾け、雲が集まるように
混乱や痛みの中で、愛する人たちを慰めるのはあなたです。
名前を覚えています。
それは迷子の畑でもなく、月の谷でもない、
草は刃ではない、
刀は記憶です、
嘘をついた足の命で地面が固まり、
示された悲しみは道具のために流された涙です、
これは本当の歌です、
愛です。
星の強大な大衆は私たちの愛する春と共に歌います、
これまでに起きた花びらにはとげがありませんでした、
私たちの愛する自然の美しさの中で、古いことわざは、
話すことは恵みを歌うことです。
山のことを思い出してください。
これまでの検索方法に対する戦争
歌った山がなければ、一人の人生は過ぎませんでした、
装甲は静脈です。
In 2001, Kimiko Burton-Cruz, the daughter of then State Senator John Burton, was appointed Public Defender by Mayor Willie Brown. After taking office, Burton-Cruz forced Adachi out on her first day on the job, apparently for political reasons.[3] The following year, Adachi ran against Burton-Cruz for her position and defeated her by a 55%–45% margin. Afterward Adachi was re-elected twice, both times running unopposed.
Adachi was featured in the 2002 PBS documentary Presumed Guilty, a film about the San Francisco Public Defender's Office, its difficult cases and complex defense strategies.
Adachi was the only elected Public Defender in the state of California and ran an office of more than 100 attorneys and 60 staff members. The office's 2018–19 budget is $37.6 million.[4] According to estimates, the office represented over 23,000 people each year who are charged with misdemeanor and felony offenses. The office was known for several innovative criminal justice programs, including Drug Court, Clean Slate expungement services, and a full-service juvenile division.[2] In 2017, Adachi launched an Immigration Unit to represent undocumented immigrants locked in detention facilities and facing deportation. It is the third jurisdiction to offer legal representation for immigrant detainees in removal proceedings.[5] New York City and Alameda County have similar programs.
Adachi was a frequent police misconduct watchdog[6][7][8] and bail reform advocate.[9][10]
He was the author of a series of books[12] on passing the bar exam, including the Bar Exam Survival Kit, Bar Breaker, the MBE Survival Kit and the First Year Law School Survival Kit. He was a BAR/BRI bar review professor for over 20 years.
In 1995, he founded the Asian American Arts Foundation to help emerging artists. The foundation and produced one of the first Asian American awards programs, the Golden Ring Awards, which honored artists such as Chow Yun-Fat, Joan Chen, Oliver Stone and John Woo. The foundation awarded over $100,000 in grants.[13]
Adachi received several accolades for his tenure as Public Defender. In chronological order, Adachi received: the California State Bar Association's Hufstedler Award for public service; the Asian American Bar Association's Joe Morozumi Award for exceptional legal advocacy; the Mayor's Fiscal Advisory Committee's Managerial Excellence Award; the California Public Defender Association's Program of the Year Award; the American Bar Association's national award for excellence in public defense; and the California Lawyer Attorney of the Year award (CLAY) for his work in the field of prisoner reentry; the National Legal Aid and Defender Association's Reginald Heber Smith Award; Vanguard CourtWatch's Elected Official of the Year award; and the Elected Official Award for transparency from the Northern California chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists.[2]
He became a Certified Specialist in Criminal Law (the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization) and a Certified Specialist in Criminal Trial Advocacy (National Board of Trial Advocacy).
In 2011, Adachi again placed a charter amendment on the ballot — "Proposition D" — which would require all employees to pay a base contribution rate towards their pension costs, require higher-earning employees to contribute an additional amount based on their salary level, cap the maximum size of pensions, and eliminate abusive and wasteful practices such as "pension spiking."[17] In response to criticisms leveled at Proposition B, Adachi's new plan exempted the lowest-paid workers from any cost increases, used a progressive income scale to determine contributions, and did not require any health care contributions. According to the City Controller, Proposition D would save San Francisco as much as $142 million a year, and $1.6 billion over the next ten years.[3] Mayor Ed Lee offered a competing plan — "Proposition C" — which would similarly require employees to contribute at a higher level to their pensions, but also required contributions to cover health care costs. Proposition C was projected to save the city an estimated $1.29 billion over the next ten years.
His campaign was opposed by the police and firefighter unions, as his pension reform plan would require them to contribute more to their own retirement pensions. When Adachi went to pay his respects at the June, 2011 funeral services honoring San Francisco firefighters, Lt. Vincent Perez and Anthony Valerio who were killed in a house fire in San Francisco's Diamond Heights neighborhood, he was asked to leave by a firefighter.[18] The Fire Chief was unaware that Adachi had been asked to leave and stated that everyone had the right to show their support and respect, and that she did not support the request to leave.[18]
Voters approved Proposition C and defeated Proposition D.[19]
After filing his papers Adachi stated, "I've decided to run for Mayor of San Francisco to restore integrity and financial accountability to the city." He then added, "It wasn't until I really listened to what the candidates were saying in the last few debates about pension reform that I became convinced that either the candidates don't get it or they don't want to get it, and I want to make sure that there's a voice in there talking about the fiscal realities of this city."[20] Adachi added, "This debate needs to be about what is best for the city, not about what is best for City Hall".[21]
Adachi declined public financing under the City's new public financing law, stating that although he believes in public financing, he did not feel it was right to take the $900,000 that each candidate could receive "at a time that we are cutting summer school for 10,000 kids because we don't have $1 million to pay for it." However, Adachi has agreed to abide by the voluntary spending limits contained in the new law.[22]
In addition to restoring fiscal integrity to San Francisco through saving the City $1.7 billion over the next decade, Adachi has proposed a job creation program by investing $40 million in micro-loans to small businesses, creating up to 15,000 new jobs and $1 billion of new economic activity. Adachi is also proposing reforming the business tax through elimination of the current payroll tax system, which discourages hiring of new workers, and replacing it with a new business tax based upon net business revenue.[23]
A cornerstone of Adachi's plan is improving education by providing additional funding from the City's reserve funds to restore summer school, which has been eliminated for the last two years because of the City's fiscal crisis.[24][25]
On October 12, 2011, the San Francisco Chronicle named Adachi one of the "3 S.F. Mayoral Candidates to Consider", stating: "Talk about courage. One of the city's most liberal politicians took on labor over the bedrock issue of pensions. He lost in his first attempt last year, but is back with a revised version after he wouldn't back a compromise measure also on the ballot. He's been unfairly vilified by much of the city's political establishment for daring to raise the pension problem that others preferred to ignore. His campaign shows he's more than a one-issue candidate. He has a clear grasp of a variety of issues ranging from homeless policies to taxes. His independence is unassailable."[26] He placed 6th out of 16 candidates.
In 2009, he also directed You Don't Know Jack: The Jack Soo Story, [27][28][29] about Jack Soo, a Japanese American actor (known for his role in Barney Miller) who took a Chinese name. The film won the best documentary film at the Accolade Film Festival, and was chosen to air on Comcast's on demand following its national PBS broadcast.
In 2016, he made the film America Needs a Racial Facial (initially entitled Racial Facial), an eight-minute history of racism in the U.S.[30] Racial Facial won the best short documentary at the Hollywood Independent Documentary Film Festival awards in 2016 and earned a distribution deal by the Films for the Humanities and Sciences later that year.
Adachi's 2017 documentary Defender, co-directed with Jim Choi,[27] won best documentary at the Independent Television Festival. The 70-minute piece followed a racially charged case tried by Adachi as well as a case handled by the office's fledgling immigration unit.[31]

A Song
“Nothing happens to any man which he is not formed by nature
to bear.”
If love sang to verse in the width of
only time my memory would ring in a sun to sprite this day,
Sadness holds only the rain,
a rice coupled with the served is a
morsel of only sustenance on earth,
Depth rang more as the heart is in
the palm,
A hand in deep Well as this is only a
work.
Far from East is the Islands of only
retreats,
It is the ocean that blue is green to
storms and many lean yet. . . .
I brass only my tomb in Past to ankle
my virtue to a shoeing,
What a forge to have Thor's Hammer!!
These moments are as the Seas sang in
with love rain,
Yet. . .
Oh how the power of love rises the
suns,
Many worlds away the solar(s) are
lifting in the rise of a morning for you.
Smile my dear found Man this is only
from an Era of this Earth,
This is navigation.
The Far East is butter and West is
where we did not meet,
The South is but a direction of the
dawn,
North my friend is the wife and
daughter and smile must lane,
In ankles it is the time of the knee
for I to hold the balance of your name,
This is San Francisco,
The Barbary Coast,
The early’ing to what must have had a
window of some sort of learning,
I saw the leaning,
For through our Ages dear Man the
land is not a sands grain,
It is only the beach.
Virtue raised more than a blossom of
Cherry Tree,
Listen to the wind as it is taught so
will the clouds gather,
In turmoil or pain it is you that
will comfort those that love,
I will remember the Name.
It is not the field of the lost nor
is it the Valley of Moon,
The grass is not the blade,
A sword is memory,
The ground is hardened with foot life
that stalk of lied,
Grief shown is tears shed for tool,
This is the true song,
It is love.
Mighty masses of Stars song with our
loving Spring,
Each petal that ever rose gave no
thorn,
In the beauty of our loving nature
the old sayings,
To speak is to sing a grace.
Remember the Mountains as the rain
gave us rise to see the lines,
Ever is the War on method of
retrieval,
Not one life passed without a
mountain that sang,
Armor is the vein.

Professional activities and recognition
Adachi was previously the president of the Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area and the San Francisco Japanese American Citizen's League, in addition to serving as a board member of the California Attorneys for Criminal Justice and the San Francisco Bar Association.[2] At the national level, Adachi was a member of the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigents.[2] Adachi served on the board of California Humanities until 2018 and currently serves as a board member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the National Association for Public Defense.[11]He was the author of a series of books[12] on passing the bar exam, including the Bar Exam Survival Kit, Bar Breaker, the MBE Survival Kit and the First Year Law School Survival Kit.

He became a Certified Specialist in Criminal Law (the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization) and a Certified Specialist in Criminal Trial Advocacy (National Board of Trial Advocacy).
Pension reform advocacy
In 2010, Adachi placed "Proposition B" on the ballot, which would have required employees to increase the level of their contribution to defray the cost of both their pension and health care benefits.[14] Proposition B was defeated, having faced significant opposition from unions and elected officials.[15][16]In 2011, Adachi again placed a charter amendment on the ballot — "Proposition D" — which would require all employees to pay a base contribution rate towards their pension costs, require higher-earning employees to contribute an additional amount based on their salary level, cap the maximum size of pensions, and eliminate abusive and wasteful practices such as "pension spiking."[17] In response to criticisms leveled at Proposition B, Adachi's new plan exempted the lowest-paid workers from any cost increases, used a progressive income scale to determine contributions, and did not require any health care contributions.
