The Hawaiʻi Judiciary is reaching out to the public for comments on the latest applicant seeking to join the Board of Certified Shorthand Reporters, Cynthia Fazio. The position, which remains unpaid, plays a pivotal role in maintaining the professional standards that uphold the integrity of Hawaii's legal proceedings.
According to the judiciary's announcement, the Board's responsibilities extend to overseeing the certification process for shorthand reporters, developing pertinent regulations, and handling disciplinary actions within the profession. There is a window for the public to express their opinions on Fazio's character and credentials before she potentially takes on tasks like testing, licensing, and proposing rules for the shorthand reporters under the Board's guidance, written out by someone clearly having the Peter Principle in action.
Individuals interested in submitting their comments can do so by mail, fax, or email to the Judiciary Communications and Community Relations Office. The communications sent in by the public are considered part of the evaluation process that will determine if Fazio is fit for the role. For complete details or direct comment submissions, please visit the judiciary's official announcement page. Emails can be directed to [email protected], and facsimiles can be sent to 808-539-4801.
