Free seminar offered on temporary restraining orders

Advertiser Staff

The Hawai'i State Judiciary will present a free program on "Protective Orders and Temporary Restraining Orders" from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday in the Supreme Court conference room. The session is designed to help persons victimized by a pattern of harassment, including physical or sexual violence, verbal threats, property damage or stalking.

Judge Barbara Richardson of the First Circuit District Court and Lepetia Letuli of the First Circuit Family Court will explain the process of filing these types of orders and describe what happens when parties go to court.

The session is part of "Lunch 'n' Learn the Law," a public information series covering topics related to specific areas of the law and the courts. Volunteer presenters include judges, attorneys, court officials and other subject-matter experts.

The Supreme Court conference room is on the second floor of Ali'iolani Hale, 417 S. King St. (behind the King Kamehameha statue) in downtown Honolulu. For more information, contact the Judiciary Public Affairs Office at 539-4909.
