Testimony of Mark E. Recktenwald to the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations the Twenty-Fifth Legislature TESTIMONY OF MARK E. RECKTENWALD TO THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY AND GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS THE TWENTY-FIFTH LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION 2009 Friday, March 6, 2009 9:30 a.m. Conference Room 016 TESTIMONY ON GM 439 RELATING TO MARK E. RECKTENWALD FOR THE POSITION OF ASSOCIATE JUSTICE, SUPREME COURT Chair Taniguchi, Vice Chair Takamine, and members of the committee, thank you for giving me this opportunity to appear before you today. I am honored and humbled to be considered to serve on the Hawai'i Supreme Court. I'd like to thank the Judicial Selection Commission for its work in selecting a very strong list of candidates for this position, and Governor Lingle for nominating me and giving me the opportunity to be considered by the Senate. I came to Hawai'i more than 25 years ago, and the first person I met when I walked off the plane was my future wife, Gailynn. Hawai'i soon became my home, and my only regret was that I didn't come here sooner. There are many people who have supported me in my life, and I'd like to acknowledge and thank some of them. My wife Gailynn, my children Andrew and Sarah, and my parents Bill and Connie have made countless sacrifices for me, and I thank them with all my heart. I am also grateful to the judges and staff of the 1 Intermediate Court of Appeals, who welcomed me to the court when I became a judge almost two years ago in May, 2007. I'd like to thank my predecessor Chief Judge James Burns for his leadership on the court and for the graciousness he has shown me, and Chief Justice Ronald Moon for the support he has given to me and to the court. I am passionate about public service. I have had the opportunity to serve the people of Hawai'i in several different roles, most recently as a judge. My service on the court has been the most exciting and rewarding challenge of my career, and I have worked hard to live up to the trust that was placed in me. I've sought to write opinions that are fair, well-reasoned and clearly written. I've had the opportunity to participate in more than 250 decisions on the merits as part of our three-judge panels. I wrote the court's disposition in more than 80 of those cases, including ten published opinions. As chief judge, I have worked with my colleagues to move forward with the restructuring of the appellate system that began in 2006, under which all appeals now come first to the ICA. We have emphasized deciding cases more promptly, without sacrificing the quality of our decisions. We have also emphasized making the court more open and accessible. I am particularly proud of the court's decision to begin holding oral argument on a regular, monthly basis starting in September, 2007. We have held more than 20 oral arguments since then, which has given the bar and the public more opportunities to observe the 2 court in action. We have also begun posting the court's decision~on the judiciary's website by the afternoon on which they are issued, so they are most readily accessible. I have also sought out opportunities to meet with the legal community, including the neighbor island bar associations, to get input on the work we are doing. My experience as a practicing attorney has also helped to prepare me for the challenge of serving on the supreme court. I worked as a litigator in private practice, representing clients in both federal and state court. I was a federal prosecutor at the u.s. Attorney's Office, where I specialized in prosecuting white collar and environmental crimes. I also represented the United States in civil cases, recovering money fraudulently taken from the government in health care and defense contracts. These experiences have familiarized me with a wide range of areas of the law. Finally, as director of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, I had the opportunity to lead a department with 370 employees who were dedicated to protecting the interests of Hawai'i's consumers. Serving on the supreme court is a unique challenge. The court addresses some of the most difficult and important issues facing Hawai'i. If I have the opportunity to serve, I would draw on all of the experiences of my career--as a judge, as a practicing attorney, and as someone who has worked in all three branches of government at both the federal and state level--to 3 meet that challenge. My goals as a judge have been simple, and I will continue to pursue them wherever I serve: decide cases fairly and promptly, respect the parties who come before the court, my colleagues and the judicial system, and write opinions that are clear, well reasoned and that faithfully apply the law. I want every litigant, whatever the outcome of their case, to feel that they were treated fairly. In closing, I'd like to express my appreciation to everyone who submitted testimony or who came to testify in person today. I thank the committee for giving me the opportunity to appear before you and for considering my nomination, and I look forward to answering your questions. 4 2/3 18085413579 02:42:54 03-06-2009 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT TELEPHONE CHAMBERS Of DISTRICT OF HAWAfi (808) 541·3502 HELEN GILLMOR 300 ALA MOANA BOUlEVARD.

In 1994, when I was appointed to the Federal District bench, Judge Recktenwald was an attorney representing the United States as a member of the U.S. Attorney's Office. He was always prepared, articulate, ethical, and yet, compassionate. In short, he was an exemplary attorney. Judge Recktenwald appeared before me regularly for a number of years. His professionalism was always apparent. I was sorry to lose him to other endeavors but I believed he was a person of great capability that would benefit from other experiences. His current nomination reflects the stature he has earned in the larger Hawaii community, and is well deserved. 3/3 1 808541 3579 02: 43: 12 03-06-2009 I am honored to give him the highest recommendation for confirmation by the Senate of the State of Hawaii.

I have known Chief Judge Recktenwald for many Years, having first met him when we were on opposite sides ofa complicated emploWlent law cjlse. We were both in private practice at the time, and my immediate impression ofhirh was that he was exceedingly bright and an exceJent writer. The case we had was hard-fought, but he was always professional in his demeanor, a;1d 1t was a privilege to work on the same case. Afbr I became a federal district judge, I was always pleased to have Chie f Judge Recktenwald appear before me~ whether as a private attorney <)r as an A5Sis~t U111ted States Attorney. His briefs were always thoroughly research and wcl1-wr~tten, and h~s arg~ments focused and cogent.

Chief Judge Recktenwald was very adcpt at using my inclinaqon: process to his advantage. Cruef Judge Recktenwald has a thoughtful and even-tempered p,crsonality that should serve him "/el1 on the Hawai'i Supreme Court.

    February 3, 2004 Mr. Ian Lind Mr. Gregory Barnett Re: Office of Disciplinary Counsel and Disciplinary Board Dear Mr. Lind and Mr. Barnett: This is in response to your requests to the Office of Information Practices (“OIP”) for an opinion on whether the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) and the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Hawaii (“Board”) are subject to the Uniform Information Practices Act (Modified), chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes (“HRS”) (“UIPA”). ISSUES PRESENTED I. Whether the ODC and the Board are “agencies” under the UIPA. II. If the ODC and the Board are “agencies” subject to the UIPA, whether their records are public. BRIEF ANSWERS I. Yes. Based upon the totality of the circumstances and excluding certain nonadministrative functions discussed herein, the ODC and the Board fall within the UIPA’s definition of “agency.” The ODC and the Board OIP Op. Ltr. No. 04-02 Mr. Ian Lind Mr. Gregory Barnett February 3, 2004 Page 2 are created and, to a significant extent, controlled by the Supreme Court of Hawaii. Moreover, the majority, if not all, of the ODC’s and the Board’s activities relating to attorney disciplinary matters are powers inherently belonging to the Supreme Court that have been delegated to them. II. The UIPA’s definition of “agency” excludes the nonadministrative functions of the courts of this State. Haw. Rev. Stat. § 92F-3 (1993). Thus, records relating to the nonadministrative functions of the courts are not subject to the UIPA. The discipline of attorneys is a nonadministrative function of the Supreme Court, which has been delegated, in part, to the ODC and the Board.
