Recktenwald CHIEF JUSTICE December 2015 To the Honorable Members of the Twenty-Eighth Legislature: I am pleased to submit the 2015 Annual Report of the King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center (the Center) as required by chapter 6F of the Hawai'i Revised Statutes. Since 1989, the Center has been steadfast in its efforts to educate the public about Hawaii's unique legal history and the judicial process in general. From its home at Ali'iolani Hale, the Center uses its exhibits, archives, public program, school tours, mock trials, films, and publications to offer extensive learning opportunities for local residents and visitors from all over the world. This year, over 42,060 visitors took advantage of the Center's exhibits and education programs, including more than 16,500 students from schools and colleges throughout Hawai'i. Indeed, other states and foreign countries continue to view the Center as a model of judicial outreach. We are excited about the success of our Courts in the Community program, under which Supreme Court arguments are periodically held in school settings. The program is part of the Judiciary's effort to educate students and the general public about the Judiciary's role in our government and its function in resolving disputes in a democratic society. Students participate in several civics-related lesson plans prepared by the Center prior to observing an official Supreme Court oral argument proceeding.
