HONOLULU — An analysis of online judicial data has found that women hold nearly 40 percent of the judge positions in Hawaii state courts, a slight improvement from 14 years ago.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the lower number of female judges is a concern in a state where women make up half of the state’s adult population.
Today, women make up 39 percent of the 80 bench seats, compared with 36 percent in 2004.
An analysis of online judicial data by the Advertiser found that men applied at a rate 2 ½ times higher than women from 2016 through 2016. Since then, the rate has increased to nearly 3 ½ times.
The disparity has persisted despite more female students graduating from the University of Hawaii’s law school than men over the years.

What an inane article. Really surprised to find out 1/2 the population is female. Who woulda thunk that!!!! If I’m reading the article correctly way more men want to be judges than women so it’s surprising there are so many female not so few judges in Hawaii. Is there a bias against men?
All “judges” in Hawaii are state agents by contract. They have to abide by alien rules. The women are bad because they actually believe the stuff is law. No man should allow the blind usurping of his authority.
For you who thinks religion is important, one from your holy book to chew on:
Romans 13:
All of you must obey the government rulers.
That’s Paul and not the Lord. Plus your quote is inaccurate.
Typical of Antifa to misquote.
Yeah, the bible is just a book whenever it suits you.
Dir the best part of you really run down mama’s leg?
Seems like there are too many in comparison…..but honestly who cares as long as they are honest?
The majority of trash collectors are male.
When will this injustice make headlines ?
Why is this an article WHT….are you trying to stir up trouble. Perhaps that is a good number? Perhaps some women would rather have children than have to deal with criminals all day?
