Hawaii judiciary to furlough

October 23, 2009

Hawaii: In consideration of the economic difficulties that the state of Hawaii is having, Supreme Court Chief Judge Ronald Moon announced that all state courts will be closed while employees are on furlough two days each month. This order takes effect in November of 2009, and will stand until future notice.

Moon said, "The decision to furlough employees and close courthouses statewide was a very difficult one for me, but one that had to be made in light of our state’s current economic crisis. I am confident that our judges and employees will do their best to minimize the inconvenience to the public, however, court users should anticipate some delays and changes in services."
