HAWAII, Pacific state of the U.S. It consists mainly of the Hawaiian Islands, an archipelago near the geographic center of the North Pacific Ocean, and other islets unrelated geographically to the archipelago; in all, 8 main islands and 124 islets, reefs, and shoals.
Hawaii is known for its distinct blend of cultural heritages, and the range of the state’s cultural institutions reflects this diversity.
State and federal authorities in the 1990s focused on the status of the more than 200,000 descendants of Hawaii's original inhabitants; income, health, and education levels for these indigenous Hawaiians are markedly lower than among the population at large.

 Culturally Appropriate Dispute Resolution Techniques...
The State Justice Institute (SJI), a federally-funded agency supporting research concerning state judiciaries, funded a project in 1989 proposed by the Hawaii Center for Futures Studies (HRCFS) in cooperation with the Hawaii Judiciary.
Perhaps the judiciary (especially the Hawaii Judiciary) would be willing to take the lead in considering and perhaps utilizing culturally-appropriate dispute resolution techniques as well.
A team of nine researchers from HRCFS and the Hawaii Judiciary proceeded to carry out work in four major task areas: (1) demographic and cultural changes, (2) legal precedents, (3) alternative dispute resolution techniques in the Pacific Region, and, (4) videotaped discussions with members of different ethnic groups in Hawaii.

Hawaii Chief Justice Ronald Moon was divorced more than 20 years ago in Honolulu, but his case is so secret that you won't find any evidence of it in the state court system he oversees.

Worse, the court orders stating the reasons specific cases have been sealed are themselves secret, leaving no clue as to why judges see fit to set aside the court's standard presumption of openness.

 The Dancing Judicial Zen Masters
Several judiciaries (Hawaii is certainly one) have taken action to see that they are as truly equal to and independent of the other two branches as the other two are to each other (there is, after all, also "checks and balances" as well as "the separation of powers") [5]
Hawaii was a young state then and the Hawaii judiciary had been created pretty much as a copy of the model state judiciary recommended at that time by the American Bar Association.
It is time that futurists working with, or interested in working with, judiciaries get together with judges, court administrators, lawyers and anyone else concerned with improving the quality and administration of justice in the United States and everywhere else in the world by expanding and improving the theories, methods, and use of judicial foresight.
