Silverman, Jane L. A Pictorial Glimpse of Bench & Bar in the Hawaiian Monarchy. [Honolulu]: Judiciary, State of Hawaii, 1980. [24] pp., illustrations, portraits. Oblong pamphlet, stapled in stiff printed wrappers. Light soiling and some fading to wraps, interior clean. A good copy. $30. * This publication provides a visual and historical overview of the legal system during the Kingdom of Hawaii (roughly 1795-1893). It contains numerous portraits of prominent judges (the "bench") and lawyers (the "bar") who shaped the 19th-century Hawaiian legal system. The text explores the transition of the Hawaiian judiciary from traditional cultural concepts to a Western-style constitutional system, which began with the Constitution of 1840. It covers the period when the monarch (such as King Kalakaua or Queen Lili?uokalani) appointed Supreme Court justices upon the advice of the Privy Council of State. Produced as part of the state's efforts to document its judicial history, it serves as a concise guide to the figures and legal structures that existed prior to the 1893 overthrow of the monarchy.
