This is my first time being selected for Jury Duty. Not the most exciting day when you can be doing other things during the weekday. Honolulu District Court or Kauikeaouli Hale is right in the middle of downtown Honolulu. As you walk up, you are surrounded by squatters and pigeons! Not the most beautiful or updated building, basically it's run by the State, quite large, safe with security and sheriff, mind you one of the officers on the 4th floor was busy on his cellphone while "on duty". I like the fact that you're given thorough instructions on where to check-in, options on several parking garages to park which you will be reimbursed for your parking expenses as well as a per diem while in court. Because of covid guidelines, not only everyone was spaced apart, I was so lucky to have a cushioned seat rather than sitting on the hard wooden bench. I wish there were microphones and speakers set up so that both the jurors can hear the stand, and especially for the typists because she had a hard time hearing the benches with a solid plexiglass in front of her. But much props to the bailiff officer for conducting an efficient and speedy system especially during covid.

What can be said about a place most people dread? Thank God for our flawed but due process, Legal System. Everyone deserves to be treated justly, before an on their day in court. Blessings to our frontline Law Enforcers that risk their lives in performance of their duties! Also wisdom, compassion and most importantly integrity to those judges and staff workin behind the entrance to this building. The prescreening is an inconvenience but provides some piece of mind for your safety. Plenty of bathrooms on all floors and a bench to sit on outside the courtroom is nice. Don't wanna be here, but it's my fault for not being more aware. It goes without saying, parking is always an added experience and expense. Tip: walk from Chinatown Parking Garage 4-5 blocks away to get the best hourly rate! Good luck and research Yelp for an EXCELLENT Lawyer! A Good or Great may not be enough when you need one!

I'm not that expert in here but let me just narrate my experience with my bandit. ~ Bandit purchased a new pre-owned car from a dealership who didn't told us that the previous owner violate traffic law. Probably, you're wondering how'd we know this, all thanks to his secretary who told us later a week after we paid the car in cold cash. This is the reason why people had trust issue in life. FF..... we went here in Honolulu District Court to get things done. First we undergo on a security check before hopping up on their long escalator. Asian old guy is the one who manage the checking which at first a real Shrek and I can tell he's not in a good mood. But later on he was able to laugh coz I crack him a joke and definitely he loves it that even when we leave the place he bid goodbye to us with an Aloha face. Now, that's what you called awesome service! (insert wink face). The moment we arrive upstairs & enter this particular office, the ambiance is so quite and you could feel the Halloween spirit inside. People in here are like robots which are all Asian faces & that uneasiness feeling towards them is just very uncomfortable to deal. They're like; "give me a sec", then type....eyes roll on the screen, type, stamp and hand the paper to us. To my surprise only 3 people are in here doing businesses. Before anything else, you need to get a # and wait for your turn to be called. I don't expect them to laugh but just a simple gesture of smile will brighten each of our day right? So, basically what the woman did is that she made this document stating that we (bandits) the new owner don't have any responsible on the violation/s that the previous owner accumulated on the car that we just bought. That was a smooth easy transaction and to myself; pheeew! Not easy having a car and not more easy to violate rules on the road. No way I wanna learn to drive. Hahahaha. I'll just walk, biki or book Lyft/Uber. (insert silly face) ~ Mahalo & HAPPY JUANDERING fellow yelpers! juanderbandit.world

The District Court (O'ahu First Circuit) is also known as Kauikeaouli Hale. It is a State Judiciary building that handles civil, criminal and traffic documents and court services. I haven't been into this building since the early 1980's and 1990's since back then I was called to serve on Jury Duty. It was still a relatively new building that was well lighted and well maintained. Even the benches in the public areas were unmarked and polished. However, fast forwarding to today, we found a dingy and sort of dark building. Today, we were here because of my husband needed to pay for a traffic violation (*see below for explanation) ticket that he recently received. We knew that we'd have to go upstairs to the Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) and approached the long inclined escalators. Ah, but the moving pattern was coming down so we knew that we'd have to go through the security measures just beyond the escalators near the elevators. The security guards were professional yet, still friendly. It was like going through airport TSA except they didn't ask us to remove our shoes. We had arrived at the TVB around noon and I mentioned to my husband that maybe, they were closed for lunch. The cashier counter was unmanned and we were the ONLY ones in this large hallway lobby who were "customers". Fortunately, as we stepped up to pull a number, a woman came out from behind her desk and waited on us IMMEDIATELY! Within a few minutes, we completed our transaction, the cashier was professional and even asked my husband if he wanted to contest the infraction. But, no, as they say... "It is what it is"! So, my husband just paid. Fortunately, we had parked right near the I'olani Palace and only put in some coins for 30 minutes. I was prepared to return to feed the meter if the wait would have been longer. Instead, we were in an out of the TVB within 15 minutes! It was a good experience but it's not one that I'd want to repeat as I've not ever had any traffic violations...geez, I hope that I'm not jinxing myself! Bottom line, LEARN AND OBEY THE LAW, SAVE LIVES AND YOUR MONEY. *Section 291C-33(2) states don't Walk or Upraised Palm. No pedestrian shall start to cross the roadway in the direction of such signal, whether flashing or steady, but any pedestrian who has partially completed the pedestrian's crossing on the Walk or Walking Person signal shall complete the crossing to a sidewalk or safety island while the Don't Walk or upraised palm signal is showing. #523

I've been to Honolulu District Court twice now, both for traffic violations. The first one was several years back where I was cited with an expired insurance card. I had to have my insurance company issue me an affidavit to vouch I had proper insurance coverage as of the date of citation. That morning I was put into a room filled with other violators in a ridiculously ice cold air-conditioned court room waiting to be called. Luckily they go by last name alphabetical order so I didn't have to wait that long. Today I had to appear in court as I was cited for a violation of not yielding to pedestrians last month. As you enter the building from the Hotel Street side you are to have your belongings scanned via x-ray and then proceed to the 4th floor. When you walk to the 2 court rooms on the 4th floor today a bailiff had a clip board asking for your name to inform you which room to enter (either 4A or 4B). He also advised you to make sure you're in the room at 830am when the hearings start. This building is very outdated and has seen better days. Unfortunately maintenance has not been kept up to date so you're pretty much walking into the past. The atmosphere, decor and scent - - goes back to the 70's. Today I was assigned to room 4A and it was ICY cold again. I didn't bring any jacket and wore exercise shorts and t-shirt so I was FREEZING. Because my last name starts with "C" I was the 5th person to be called today. I had to walk up to the front where the microphones are. I had to state my name and speak to the judge. In my case, the police officer failed to indicate which intersection my violation occurred so my case was tossed. No fine. No record. I was dismissed. Let's hope you don't need to come to this building for traffic violations. It's time consuming and pretty sure you don't need added stress involved. NOTES: 1) Parking is on your own. No validation nor private lot. You need to find your own transportation to come here and pay your own. 2) The restrooms are located on the mauka (mountatin) side of the buidling. 3) If you are found guilty and have a monetary fine, the cashier is between rooms 4A and 4B so you can settle the balance.

Kauikeaouli Hale also known as the O'ahu First Circuit District Court is a State Judiciary building. This is the place that you go to handle civil, criminal and traffic documents and court services. The building is named after Kamehameha III, who was born Kauikeaouli. Kauikeaouli was the third king of the Kingdom of Hawaii and ruled from 1825 to 1854. His full Hawaiian name was Keaweaweula Kīwalaō Kauikeaouli Kaleiopapa and then lengthened to Keaweaweula Kīwalaō Kauikeaouli Kaleiopapa Kalani Waiakua Kalanikau Iokikilo Kīwalaō i ke kapu Kamehameha when he ascended the throne. I had to come here to see what moving violations were on my record. So as you enter the building, security is quite fast. Just put you things on the X-ray machine belt, walk through the metal detectors. FYI - if youre wearing the crocs that has heals...you will be beeped. As I found out, theres metal in the heals. So after being scanned by the wand, and holding up traffic going into the elevators, I was FREE!!! Oh, that just means I could get my things. The Traffic Division is on the 2nd Floor, courts are on the 3rd and above, depending on what courtroom you need to go to. Anyway, I needed to inquire about a violation that I dont think is mine but my sister insisted it is. Guess she doesnt want to pay for the ticket. Got there about 11:30 am and NO ONE in line. I was called right away and the staff that helped me was so friendly and helpful. Guess she wanted me to pay. LOL. Anyway, found out it was on my sisters car and not mine. YEAH! Im out at 11:40 am!!

Get here early for good seating.

Reading the important info., on the summons, the hubby wrote his written statement with all the important details included, attached our trip itinerary and then I made a stop at circuit court to drop it off, since it had to be within 2 weeks and it was pretty close. It's been years since I last had Jury Duty, made me forget. I actually drove to the wrong court on Alakea. I had a hard time finding parking, circled around a few times, finally parked, went through security check like TSA, dropped forms off at room 1060. That was quick, the hubby got a response via email within 2 business days and shared the great news with me. Now the hubby asked, what if we are on a trip again ?! The next time he receives the Jury Duty Summons, will cross our fingers that the next date will not coincide with our travels. Yep.

Take your ticket and the check in person will validate. Entering the building, you will go through security similar to the airport where you put your belongings in a basket for scanning and walk through a metal detector. Once inside look for the desk where they will ask you for the letter that summoned you for jury duty. There you can also get your parking ticket validated. If you get lost, there are people there to guide you to the correct place. Once checked in, you will be directed to go to your assigned courtroom. Inside the courtroom, the presiding judge's law clerk will take a roll call then it's all following directions after that. They do give you an hour break for lunch. Pro tip: eat, drink, use the bathroom beforehand. You cannot take any food inside the courtroom. Drinks are allowed if in a flask.

The structure was intended to be a palace for Kamehameha V, but converted during construction to a needed government building for the Republic of Hawaii, known as Ali'iolani Hale. The Italian Renaissance Revival building was designed by Thomas Rowe, a British architect and dedicated in 1884. Today, the building houses the King Kamehameha V Judiciary Center and the Hawaii Supreme Court. The building is free and open to explore, but you have to go through security. The interior has a lovely marble atrium with dual winding staircase in a center atrium. There is a small dome at the top of the atrium. Original woodwork exists throughout the building. In the History Center is a small movie theater, that offers several interesting films about Hawaiian government and history. A small museum houses early Hawaiian legal artifacts. An original Victorian era courtroom is available to explore. Upstairs is a modern courtroom that serves as the Hawaii Supreme Court, which was not in session during my visit. Plan an hour visit (or less if you skip the films). I did not see nearby parking, I took the bus as part of my visit to Iolani Palace, which is across the street. They are open 8:00 am - 4 pm.

US Federal District Court, IRS, SSA, VA, TSA to name a few are homed here. Here are a few things you need to know 1- no Building or Facility parking! zip! zero! nada!. There are 2 municipal parking lots on the east side of Punchbowl Street. $2.00 per hour. There are street metered parking spaces so you need to bring your change; $.25 will do it @ $2.00 per hour. These parking meters are old. It does not accept credit cards. 2- Secured entrance to building now only on the south side of the building. (reduced from 3 entrances pre Pandemic) Best you have an appointment for the department you are visiting or you may have to wait outside until the crowd control says you can enter. Picture identification is required 3- Sundry Store on the ground floor is in sad shape and condition. Their A/C is out. Their coffee maker is broken and their refrigeration system is running warm.... 5- Cafeteria on the 5th floor has lost its luster. I used to love to eat there. The food used to be good and it was priced right. The Cafeteria was designed to service the federal employees, judges, attorneys, plaintiffs and others who have business within the Federal Building. But its not the greatest anymore. Menu has shrunk, coffee from Starbucks, no table service. You wait in the line like a cafeteria and you bus you own trays. So the bottom line is unless you have specific and definite business in the Federal Building, don't go there or go prepared.

I didn't know that I was commiting a violation, but everyone around me found out when the loud speaker from the Police vehicle made an announcement! Uhg! The blue lights flashed, the siren blared, and the Officer said, "You are being pulled over." Waaahhh! Ok... I will take responsibility for my actions (because I preach this to my patients) and pay the fine. It's how much??? $297 included Driver Education Fee and two different Administrative fees for "Mobile Electronic Device". Ack! Oh, well... Just power through and get it done. I tried online payment, but I was too early. My ticket wasn't in the system yet. (I used to work for the Prosecutor's Office, so, I know something about entering the data into the computer.) I called, but I wasn't able to get through. I was going to mail in my Credit Card payment, but I read the fine print about a "transaction fee". Hey, I'm Chinese... (That means I'm thrifty)! That's when I got the brilliant idea to go to my credit union, get cash, and pay in person. I pass by Kaneohe District Court (KDC) every time I go to work and go home. KDC is located on the corner of Po'okela Street and Kea'ahala Road ...between Kaneohe District Park and Windward Community College. It's an impressive and relatively new building, surrounded by tropical flowers/shrubs and the beautiful backdrop of the Koolau Mountain Range. Breath taking! Parking is free on the street and in the adjacent parking lot. Disabled parking spaces and an elevator make entry into the building more convenient. Once inside, there are signs and a helpful Security Guard who give directions for temperature screening and how to place property on the conveyor belt as people and items pass through a metal detector. I followed arrows that pointed to the Cashiers. There was a row of windows and the two guys in front of me went to the open slots. We were instructed to take a number and a seat, but the clerks were efficient enough to process us right away. I wish that I got the name of the gal at Window #4. She answered all of my questions such as, "Is there a cash discount?" and she laughed at my attempts at making jokes. I told her that I'll give her a Five-star Yelp Review because she was so friendly and she made the payment process less painful! She added that I could pay by credit card and get Hawaiian Airlines Miles because the "transaction fee" applies to those who have outstanding accounts (in collections)! What a bonus! Hahaha! Even though this was a lesson learned, it was made "pleasant" with a nice environment, efficient process, and cordial staff! It makes me proud to be a US Citizen in the State of Hawaii!

If an appointment, might be ~6 weeks out because of backlog, be prepared. 2. 4 separate people will ask you why you're visiting, be super clear in what you need + if you have an appointment or were told you didn't have to make one. 3.
