Haw. Sup. Ct. R. 8.13
Special provisions for cases involving mental or physical disability
(a) Procedure. In carrying out its responsibilities regarding physical or mental disabilities, the Commission shall follow the same procedures that it employs with respect to discipline for misconduct.
(b) Representation by counsel. If the judge in a matter relating to physical or mental disability is not represented by counsel, the supreme court shall appoint an attorney to represent him or her.
(c) Medical privilege.
(1) If the complaint involves the physical or mental condition of the judge, a denial of the alleged condition shall constitute a waiver of medical privilege, and the judge shall be required to produce his or her medical records.
(2) If medical privilege is waived, the judge is deemed to have consented to a physical or mental examination by a qualified medical practitioner designated by the Commission. The report of the medical practitioner shall be furnished to the Commission and the judge.
