Ige s Appeals Court Nominee Faces Questions Over Experience, Diversity - Honolulu Civil Beat
State lawmakers will decide later this week on Dan Gluck’s nomination. Reading time: 5 minutes.
Dan Gluck, the state Ethics Commission director and Gov. David Ige’s pick for a seat on the state’s Intermediate Court of Appeals, defended his nomination Tuesday even as some called for him to withdraw and criticized his lack of trial experience compared to women who applied for the vacancy.
For many, Gluck’s nomination has become a symbol of the gender imbalance in Hawaii courts, where women make up far fewer than half of sitting judges. Ige chose Gluck from a list that included Native Hawaiian women, one of whom is a district court judge.
