The Hawai`i State Judiciary is sponsoring a free public informational session, “Legal Research on the Internet,” from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 20, in the Supreme Court Conference Room, 417 South King Street. The information is geared for non-lawyers.

Hawai`i Supreme Court Law Librarian Jenny Fujinaka will explain the basics of doing legal research on the Internet via the Law Library’s website. She will also explain how to access the State Judiciary’s online database of statewide, non-confidential criminal and civil Circuit and Family Court case records and traffic case records.

The Judiciary is offering this program as part of its monthly “Lunch ‘n’ Learn the Law” series. Volunteer presenters include judges, attorneys, court officials and other subject-matter experts who discuss topics related to specific areas of the law and the courts. For the 2009 schedule, visit the Judiciary’s website at www.courts.state.hi.us under the “Community Outreach” section.
