The Hawaii Supreme Court is performing great outreach in many aspects, like working with India's environmental law leaders, bringing the court sessions to Hawaii's public schools and so forth.

However, we need more due process to ordinary citizens in Hawaii in terms of HRS 343 and the way it's being processed.  Most of the public, including attorneys, do not know about the rigid short timeliness in an Environmental Assessment or Environment Impact Statement process. The reality is citizens don't go around reading fine prints in newspaper or in the Office of Quality Environmental Control or  the public library. Not many attend Neighborhood boards or community associations which are generally elected by dismal tiny amount of voters, with no dispersion of information beyond.  

Those who prepare the EA or EIS are not licensed or belong to any professional organizations. The public loses standing if they missed the deadlines. The irreparable damages are severe, with no standing in court.
