2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 32. Courts and Court Officers|612. Jurors|612-7 Excused when, for cause.

  §612-7 Excused when, for cause. A prospective juror shall not be excused by a court for slight or trivial cause, but only when it appears that jury duty would entail a serious personal hardship, or that for other good cause the prospective juror should be excused either temporarily or otherwise. [L 1973, c 191, pt of §1; gen ch 1985; am L 2007, c 122, §4] Case Notes  Order excusing a juror from further duty is in the discretion of the court and cannot be reversed by mandamus. 13 H. 332 (1901); 21 H. 66 (1912).

(b) In the discretion of the court, any juror who incurs expenses for transportation, board, and lodging as a result of the distance the juror resides from the location of the court, may be reimbursed for actual expenses.  (c) All jurors or prospective jurors shall be exempt from any prosecution, penalty, or fine as a result of a parking violation committed in connection with the juror or prospective juror appearing at court for jury duty; provided that the juror or prospective juror shall present any parking citation received during this time to the court clerk of the circuit court or district court or the jury pool clerk, as appropriate, who shall verify that the juror or prospective juror was serving on jury duty or appearing in court in response to a summons for jury duty at the time the citation was received.

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 32. Courts and Court Officers|612. Jurors|612-11 Master list.

  §612-11 Master list. (a) Each year the clerk for each circuit shall compile a master list. The master list shall consist of all voter registration lists for the circuit, which shall be supplemented with other lists of persons residing in the circuit, such as lists of taxpayers and licensed drivers. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, including section 235-116, the lists used to compile the master list shall contain available identifying information of the persons on the list, such as last name, first name, middle initial, date of birth, gender, address, and social security number. Each person's name shall appear only once on the master list.  (b) Whoever has custody, possession, or control of any of the lists used in compiling the master list, shall make the list available to the clerk for inspection, reproduction, and copying at all reasonable times. [L 1973, c 191, pt of §1; am L 1987, c 366, §4; am L 2002, c 92, §2; am L 2007, c 122, §7] Case Notes  The mere fact that the trial jurors drawn from the jury list did not contain percentages of persons of nativity of the citizenry in the court's jurisdiction did not show that the list itself violated the jury statute. Violation occurs if there is systematic or arbitrary exclusion of or discrimination between persons of a particular race. 118 F.2d 667 (1941).  Evidence disclosing that the employer entrepreneur group comprised but about 3.6% of the population of the county but comprised 42% of the grand jury list and that male laborers comprised approximately 79% of male population of county but 12% of grand jury list established that an erroneous method had been employed in selecting the grand jury list. 82 F. Supp. 65, 117 (1948), reversed on other grounds. 187 F.2d 860 (1951).  Proportional representation. 103 F. Supp. 1 (1952); 105 F. Supp. 727 (1952).  Selection of jurors under earlier amendments. 17 H. 23 (1905); 18 H. 46 (1906); 22 H. 618 (1915).  Grand jury not incompetent through omission to apportion list of persons from different precincts. 29 H. 7 (1926).  Denial of plea in bar and motion to dismiss indictment upon ground selection was not made without reference to race, place of nativity, or sex was not erroneous. 45 H. 247, 365 P.2d 460 (1961).

  §612-12 Master jury wheel. Each year the clerk for each circuit, by random selection, shall place in the master jury wheel the names of prospective jurors taken from the master list, in such number as the clerk determines should be processed in order to provide the number of jurors required for the ensuing year.

(a) Upon return of the juror qualification forms, the clerk, after careful investigation in each case, shall select for prospective jury service all those persons whom the clerk believes are qualified and not exempt; provided that any person who is exempt may be selected if the person waives the person's exemption.  (b) The names of the persons so selected shall be placed in the qualified jury wheel, to be used in compiling lists of prospective jurors subject to service during the ensuing year; provided that the clerk, with the approval of the court, may excuse a prospective juror for any cause set forth under section 612-7, in which case the name of the excused person shall not be placed in the qualified jury wheel.

Upon the order of the court, from time to time, additional lists of persons subject to serve as grand jurors shall be compiled and filed, and additional names shall be added to a grand or trial jury list; provided that all additions shall be made by drawing from the qualified jury wheel for the appropriate year. When more than one grand jury list has been compiled, the sequence in which the lists are to be used shall be designated by the clerk according to the sequence of drawing. The names on the certified lists shall be open to public inspection, after redaction of addresses and other personal information and identifiers, subject to orders of the court.  (b) In the second, third, and fifth circuits, any circuit judge, and in the first circuit, a majority of the circuit judges, at any time, for reasons appearing sufficient to the judge or them, may order the dissolution of any certified list of prospective grand or trial jurors and order the clerk to make and file a new list, which may include any of the persons so discharged, to serve for the remainder of the year. The new list shall be compiled in the manner prescribed by the court. Until the new list is filed, grand or trial jurors may be drawn from a list thereof compiled and filed by the judge or judges making the order or one or more of them designated by the remainder, which list shall expire not later than thirty days after the filing thereof unless the period is extended, except that trial jurors may sit beyond the end of the period prescribed in this subsection and after the filing of a new list by the clerk, for the trial of any case in which the selection of the jury has already commenced.

The chief of police or bailiff, either personally or through an authorized subordinate, shall summon the persons named to attend the court by giving personal notice to each of the time and place of required appearance as fixed by order of the court. The court may order the summoning of prospective jurors by any officer of the court, and the service of summons by any form of personal notice, including notice by telephone.

If a person who is exempt or who believes oneself to be entitled to be excused from jury duty, is summoned as a juror, even though the person did not request exemption or excuse previously, or was not exempted or excused by the clerk, the person may make the person's request for exemption or excuse to the judge of the court for which the person is summoned. The request may be made to the clerk or bailiff, who shall deliver it to the judge and, if sufficient in substance, it shall be received as an excuse for nonattendance in person.
