ACQUISITIGNS

To the Honorable Members of the Eighth Legislature of the State of Hawaii

A REFLECTIVE LOOK at this reporting period finds the Judiciary breathing some­what easier after several years of fiscal belt tightening.

Past budget limitations and restricted judicial manpower during a time of bur­

geoning caseloads had created a dilemma in which we often found ourselves "running

faster and faster to stay in one place." However, a full judicial complement in the First

Circuit Court, and additional funding throughout the State helped ease our load during the 74-75 year.

Further relief came with the Legislature's approval of our 1975-77 budget request.

Thus, we look ahead with renewed vigour, knowing we have the necessary resources to apply to problems thrust upon us by a complex contemporary society.

This report documents programs and performance by the Judiciary during the fiscal period. Our statewide caseload increased for a third consecutive year, with the burden on available judge power weighing most heavily in the Second Circuit (Maui-Molokai-Lanai).

We sought to emphasize community outreach and education programs aimed at crime prevention. We updated judicial response with penal rules revision, improved calen­daring, continuing education far judges and tightened discipline of attorneys.

We enhanced delivery of services to the people by installing several new satellite courtrooms throughout the State.

We activated research and development in the areas of criminal justice statistical analysis; grand and petit jury studies; judicial information automation; videotaping applica­

tions and highway safety documentation. These efforts should provide new tools for the

tasks ahead.

Accelerating caseloads, changing social values and customs resulting in new legisla­

tion will command our continued commitment to fair and swift justice for all. We

believe the Legislature shares this concern and look forward to our ongoing joint efforts

toward progress.

Respectfully yours, •

Reaching O\Jt to the Community

:.r·I':~rl , ,(, " I

"Parading youngsters through our courts begin­ning at age 11 and peaking at age 16 actually bears little impact in our fight to control crime.

"Far too many juveniles COIll?, into court with an­tisocial traits so hardened and ingrained that there is actually very little the court can do except retain custody until they graduate into the adult system.

"What is needed is a system that reaches out to these 'Youngsters early in their lives, long before their appearance in court, when treatment can be helpful."

- Family Court Senior Judge Herman T. F. Lum Address to the Honolulu Rotary Club

It is a sign of the changing times that outreach programs merit high priority in JudiCiary Family Court efforts. Attention once directed at the adult custodial system - "the rear end of the cl"iminal jus­tice spectrum" - has shifted in recent years to a fron­tal attack on preventing juvenile delinquency by help· ing youngsters before they get into serious trouble.

The new focus is not surprising In view of the facts: In 1974·75 there was a 10 per cent jump in children's referrals to Family Court. Some 7,000 juve· niles were seen for law and traffic violations, or as youngsters in need of supervision. Concerned judges and judiciary personnel in all circuits accelerated ef­forts in crime prevention olltreach, often on their own time. Their programs and activities during the reporting period were thorough and diverse:

Intensive Intervention Fourteen-year·old Paula was discovered sniffing

paint by her parents who called police to take her to Hale Ho'omalu, the court's Honolulu detention faci/i­ty.

Since thls was Paula's first de ten tion and there appeared to be serious familv problems, her case was referred to the court's Intensive Intervention Project. An liP team talked to Paula and her parents, suggest­ing a "behavior contract" with rewards or conse. quences. A Family Court judge authorized release of Paula contingent on completion of contract negotia­tion.

Ten liP counseling sessions with Paula and her family were scheduled to work through pervasive iJll­

gry feelings. Role·reversal techniques helped the fami­ly identify individual contributions to Pauls's anti­social behavior. As a result, she emerged feeling less like "the bad girl" among "good" younger siblings, and began to move toward closer relationships within the family.

Continued c1ssistance with the family's problems was not left to chance. They were referred for fol­low·up therapy to a community agency.

\ ltll.. A goal is to divert youngsters from the criminal justice system.

5

time law violators. Staffed by a full-time coordinator and assistant

funded by the State Law Enforcement and Juvenile Delinquency Planning Agency, project volunteers have worked with 218 youngsters and their families in the Fir'st Circuit.

More than 1,000 individuals ha'/e been counsfllp,d by male-female teams recruited from among Universi­ty of Hawaii graduate students in nUl sing and the social sciences. They spend an average of 28 hours per case in family sessions and in contact with schools and other agencies. At least one in four families is seen exclusively in the home, most often after normal work hours.

Successful diversion ranged from 51 out of 66 youngsters the first year, to 70 out of 84 in the sec­ond year of the project. Still, a sizeable number of situations required court intervention (including adju­dication and foster care placement) because of long­standing negtltive family relations. Over the two-year project period, 35 children required alternate living Clmmgements.

Outside Assistance. Experience indicates there is no single social agency able to mount similar diversion efforts, although several attempts have been made. Child and Family Service assigns a liaison social work­er to the court one day a week to coordinate refer­t.lls. Catholic Social Services, the YMCA and the Job Corps are frequently called on to provide follow up programs.

A positiv0 response from families involved in the I ntensive I ntervention Project cites these ad­vantuges: early and frequent contacts, meetings ar· ranged after office hours, total family counseling, and bridging nlferrals to helping agencies. The program's connection With the court appears to impel families to wrestle with their problems.

Boy Builders, Unlimited Klmo is an 11-year·old Wailuku youth whose fa­

ther ls unemployed and whose mother ;s an alcoholic. He disrupts hls school classes when he bothers to go at all, and ls regularly sent to the prlncipal'$ office. Kimo wears hand-me·downs from an older brother who has been in trouble with the 1,1w. Unable to af­ford a skato board or Cub ScouJ membership, Kimo spends his spare time on the fringes of atl older neigh­borhood gang that steals hubcaps and vandalizes

schools.

Stroke of Fortune. the summer of '74 was a lucky one for Kimo. His teacher recommended him for par­tiCipation in BO'I Builders, Unlimited. an outreach camping experience for Maui County youth.

Second Circuit Family Court judges. along with the editor of the Maui News and the local chief of police are prime movers and backers of the program. The court's probation department assumes leadership In providing a camp director and a majority of the counselors.

Some 90 boys from the trHsles of Maui County share in the annual camping experience. Teachers, police officers and social workers join probation per­sonnel as counselors to gain better insight intt, the problems confronting such boys.

Community Effort. Expenses are met by public sub· scriptions. Farmers contribute milk and vegetablesi food suppliers give groceries; the County Medical As­sociation provides fre'e physical examinations; service clubs and governmental agencies offer assistanr:e; ra­dio stations and the newspaper publicize the camp.

An outreach project involving hundreds of caring citizens, Boy Builders, Unlimited provides a whole­some camping experience to a special group of boys who are not reached by other youth service agencies.

Children of Divorce Six.year·old Ellie and ten-year·old Johnnie are off­

spring of divorcing parents. Confused and anxious, tlley secretly wonder if their own misc/eeds have led to the decision for separation. They love both their parents and cannot w1C/erstand the hostility generated by the charged atmosphere in the home. They are frightened but r,e/uctant to talle about f'ev/ings of reo jection. They worry about what will become of them when Daddy leaves.

New life styles not-withstanding, milrri3ge anti di· vorce are here to stay. Of 4,932 divorce filings in tlll circuits during the fiscal year, approximately two­thirds involved families with minor children.

Bridge Over TrOUbled Waters. In a special counseling project, tha Family Court of the Third Circuit trillS to assist divorcing families with adjustment probillms. Primary attentIon is focused on the negative effocts divorce may have on the children.

Although the federally funded project was initi­ated to provide counseling to the children of divorce, this approilch was found to be unrealistic and too confining, since youngsters tend to react to the deci­sions ilnd actions of their parents.

Emphasis therefore, was shifted to counseling the divorcing panmts. they are encourubed to talk out their feelings to stabilizE.' emotions, adjust attitudes and explore their roles as responsible parents settling into new life styles. The vulnerable position of their children is emphasized. The danger of manipulating them. especially in the areac of visitation and finan­cial support is explained. r'" '~ ,

Driver Education

A nlajor <1ccident may make a driver more c(lI'eful "I the future, but it's a dangerous way to learn traffic ."ltety, There's tho tragiG possibility that the drivor won't live to learn.

In the calendar year 1974/ police reported more ;I\,H\ 23,000 major accidents in the state (collisions Hlvolving injury / death or d<1mage exceeding $300).

The Driver Improvement Program of the court's Vio lation Bureau is a maior preventive endeavor di­rected at both adult and juvenile traffic offenders. Hnaded by George Uyeda, it is the only such statu­wide program in tIle nation to be run by a judiciary.

The Legislature underscored the trenchant need for expansion of driver education by passing laws al· locdting $1 from every traffic violation fine and no­fault insurance policy to underwrite triliqing and im­provement classes in schools and the court. (Acts 81174 and 113/75).

A group of hand-picked, highly trained in· stl u9tors, most of them police officers conducted classes during the fisca I year for 2,515 adu Its and 615 juveniles throughout the state.

They demonstrated defensive and remedial driving techniques and safety rules. A film for juveniles dra­lllJtises the true story of a teenage driver who, having lived through a paralyzing accident, shares an account of his brush with death and tells of the steps he took to correct his driving mistal<es.

Autos and Alcohol: a Bad Mix. With one out of .<very-ten social drinkers destined to become alcohol­I,~, it is not surprising that the Judiciary stepped up its ,'I.lunterattack on the drinking driver.

The Hawaii Committee on Alcoholism estimates ~htlre are 40,000 alcoholics in the State. Whereas one "lit of two fatal accidents across the nation involved ,;i(;ohol, Hawaii exceeded this mark, with police re­,-ming 62 dl inking drivers in 119 accidents killing 129 persons in calendar 1974.

The Driving While Intoxicated (D.W.I.) Program, n,)w in its second year, informed and cautioned 632 miltorists on the hazards of mixing drinking with dl ivmg. Classes explored possible causes and counter­m.,asures for individual problems during five weekly sessions. Follow up counseling and rehabilitation pro­grams were outlined and recommended.

District Court of the First Circuit Cirouit-riding First District judges preside over rural court sessions in Ewa, KoolauIoa, Kootaupoko, 'vVaianae, Wahiawa and Waialua on the Island of Oahu . ............................................................. w.

The District Court of the First Circuit encom­passes the I sland of Oahu and the Kalaupapa settle­ment in Kalawao, Molokai.

The main courthouse in downtown Honolulu serves as headquarters for eleven judges, who also pre­side over proceedings in six outlying rural divisions.

In addition, a Violations Bureau operates as a divi­sion of the court and is resJXlnsible for maintai ning a central depository of all traffic rer.ords in the state.

Counseling Services. New referrals from the court to­taled 1,569 cases. Of this number 1,466 or 93.5 per cent were from the criminal division; the balance from the traffic division.

Dispositions numbered 1,816 cases, including 1):01"0 than 1,000 cases where presentence reports W{)nli~Qnlpleted and some 700 supervision cases dis­ch,il'g>:Hi :' -t" ,:." •

Cil.s~I()ai:l Statistics. There was a total of 511,048 case~iiled in the District Court of the First Circuit this,VElar,i;oOlprising almost 90 per cent of the total nIIl11f)et,i1'j:1 ili'~ns in all district courts . . S~Hli:ilsF.igure 10 indicates, fHings were down by ~?,bper ~:ellt from the prior reporting period. There we;'e rlecNases in all classes: ciVil, traffic, other vio­It,l,lons and criminal actions. The greatest percentage d~ID.I:il;ise was noted in civil cases, down 11.6 per cent frlil)) 10,960 to 9,692.

Terminations for the fiscal period exceeded fil­il1gs;thus reducing the number of pending cases.

Violations Bureau Although more than 583,000 violations Were is­

sued by enforcement agencies in FY 1974-75, the tOl<11 was less by some 2,100 cases than in the pre­vious reporting period.

The Bureau is resJXlnsible for accepting bail for­feiture, and for the accounting, recording and COIl­

trolling of all traffic complaints, summonses and parking citations issued. It also supplies forms and col!!;cts bail for violations of environmental codes and laws governing weights and measures, fish and game, dogs, harbor boating, parks, airport ramps, industrial safety and animal quarantine.

.Of 530,100 traffic citations processed and cleared, eight out of ten were disposed of outside traffic court. Almost half of the dispositions were from bail by mail.

Revenue collected by the Violations Bureau to­taled slightly less than $2 million.

Juvenile traffic citations declined slightly from 5,070 in 1973-74 to 5,044 in this reporting period. Four out of ten juveniles were referred to driver edu­cation classes with almost 1,500 youngsters attending courses during the fiscal year.

That's the Ticket! Honolulu drivers over-parked and

drove more recklessly in July than in any other month during the fiscal year.

They parked most carefully in No­vember, but drove most cautiously in December. .

They drank and drove nine per cent less than last year.

Honolulu police officers tagged mo­torists wri'h more than half a million cita­tions during the year.

Which means that every resident got about six-sevenths of a ticket for either a moving or parking violation_

Still, counting every police off/'cer in the department - 1,354 on Dec. 31, 1974 - they averaged only 36 citations per officer per month, slightly more than one a day.

AI/ in al/, Honolulu drivers were more careful on the road this year than last by 10,326 citations - down almost 11 per cent from fiscal 1973-74_

District Court of the Third Circuit D~strict court judges travel thousands of miles annually to preside over sessions in seven divisions on the Big Island. ~_\--........ --.......................... --"- .

Headquartered in Hila, the District Court of the Third Circuit, with two judges, serves the entire Is­land of Hawaii. Divisions are maintained in Kana, North Hilo, Ka'u, Puna, Hal11akua, South and North Kohilla, where a new courthouse was completed in 19'/4.

Jud~.les. A striking advantage of Hawaii's unified court syslem may be seen in the district courts where the Chid Justice has designated district judges to assist in adjudicating certain family court cases in the rural areaS.

Moreover, district judges of the Neighbor Island courts frequently serve as substitutes for judges on leave from the'First Circuit (Oahu).

Caseload Statistics. Filings were down nine per cent from the previous fiscal year, as indicated in Figure 12 .

Declines were noted in civil, traffic, and other vio­lations; however, criminal filings Were up slightly more than 13 per cent from 1,562 to 1,769. Petty larceny, and drug offenses showed the greatest nu­merical increases in the latter category.

Terminations reflected the decline in filings and were down" compared with the previous fiscal year, but were still higher than in both fiscal periods 1971-72 and 1972-73,

Office of the Administrative Director

Appointed by the Chief Justice with the approval of the SUpreme Court, the administrative director hea,is a central office with responsibility for state' widtl programming, budgeting, personnel llnclmanage. rnel,t operations of the Judiciary.

A 1974·75 operating budget of $8.5 million ('1.37 per cent of the total State General Fund) was admin­istered by the central office.

Modern management practices are utilized to pro­rnotl~ uniformity in statewide cOLirt operatiL·ns geared to prevent duplication of effort from circuit to cir· cuit. Centralized bUdgeting, purchasing, and account. ing procedures are employed to upgrade Judiciary functioning.

Substantial savings are effected in record process, ing and payroll preparation for so me 700 employees by centralization of personnel services. Centralization also permits flexibility in making the best use of 110n·

judicial personnol by pennltting assignmonts during emergencies fl'om one court to another, evon from one cit'cult to anothel',

State Judiciary capital improvement projects are planned by the central office, tlnc! will total appl'oxi. mately $60 million over the next five years.

During this fiscal year (l new North Kohala court­house at Hilwi on the Big Island, and a completely renovated Fifth Circuit Judiciary building in Lihue, Kauai Were dedicated.

Completion of court facilities in W(1imall and Ko­loa, Kauai IS expectad In 1975-76. Sp~ce planning WllS

finished in November, '1974 fOl' a I1C:!VV judicial com­plex and clistl'ict court facilities in downtown Hono­lulu. Planning for a Koolauloa.Koolllupoko district court in Kaneohe is under way.

Two federally fundad programs aciministereci by the central office continued during the fiscnl poriod and won approval from the '1975 Logisll1tul'o for pcr­manent absorption into the Judiciary operaLing budget:

Law Library The Supreme Court Law Library and its sate: ite

collections in the Second, Third and Fifth Circdts constitute the State Law Library System.

Although its first responsibility is to provide it .1g. eS and stoff of all courts with information and ma: !ri· ai, it nlso serves as a primary resource for the em· fl)Unity. Undor a special arrangement with the Hawaii Bar As­sociation and the State Library System, the Law Li· brary extends the use of its collection to inmate, of the Hawaii State Prison.

More than 39,000 people llsed the library du! in\) the fiscal year. At the central librarY of the Supnm1c COUrt, which maintains the major portion of the 1:01· leetion of 71,000 books, the combined reference ,lnd circulation Use in FY 1974·75 totaled 110,701 in­stanceS.

The central library performs the budgeting, plan· ning and purchasing for the entire State Law Library System. I tS staff performs its own cutaloguing, index· ing and book restoration. Under a continLiing re­binding tlnd maintenance program, the staff this year bound 363 periodicals and 97 books. An additional 500 periodicals were prepared for commercial bmd· ing. Rebinding of Hawaii Reports for circuit COlirt

judges' chnmbers and courtrooms was begun. UniversitY of Hawaii graduate students In librury

Sludies helped prepare card catalogs for Neighbor Is· land circuit court collections. Temporary help pro· vided by tho 1975 Legislat lIr'e will enable the library to complete the project early in the next fiscal Yllar.
