Hawaii ranks third in the nation, behind Washington, D.C., and Connecticut on key components of providing access to the justice system, according to a report released Thursday.
The report, by the National Center for Access to Justice, measured how accessible the justice system is in four categories: attorney access for low-income litigants; support for self-represented litigants; support for litigants with limited language proficiency and support for people with disabilities.
