Recktenwald Confirmed as Chief Justice
The State Senate confirmed Mark E. Recktenwald as Hawaii’s newest Chief Justice to the Hawaii State Supreme Court on September 2. He succeeds Ronald Moon who retires this month upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70.
The full Senate also confirmed Blaine J. Kobayashi to the District Court of the Second Circuit for the County of Maui.
Both nominees appeared before the Senate Judiciary and Government Operations (JGO) committee on August 25 of which I am a member. The JGO committee voted unanimously to advise and consent to Recktenwald’s confirmation on Sept. 1.
The full Senate approved his confirmation by a 22—0 vote.
