Haw. Sup. Ct. R. 19.1
Purposes of Judicial Performance Program
The courts, the public and the legal profession have a vital interest in a responsive and respected judiciary. In its supervisory role and pursuant to its power over the court system and judges, the supreme court has determined that the periodic evaluation of a judge’s performance is a reliable method to promote judicial excellence and competence. Accordingly, the supreme court hereby establishes the Judicial Performance Program (herein called "program"). The purposes of the program are:
(a) Improving individual judges’ performance by providing information to the Chief Justice concerning their performance;
(b) Providing a potential source of information for application and retention decisions by the Judicial Selection Commission of the State of Hawaiʻi;
(c) Facilitating the Chief Justice’s effective assignment and use of judges within the judiciary;
(d) Improving the design and content of judicial education programs; and
(e) Assisting the Chief Justice in discharging his or her responsibilities to administer the judiciary.
(Amended effective June 14, 1996.)
