JUDGES & GC SQUAD

Girls Court FOUNDING Judge
Judge Karen M. Radius
09/2004 TO 10/2010

"Welcome to the Girls Court website. This website is to be for, by, and about our girls and women in Hawai`i and their families. The website will show a brief pictorial history of some of the highlights of the Girls Court program. I was so privileged to be the Judge for Girls Court which is one of the first courts of its kind in the entire nation. Girls Court seeks to build on the strengths of our girls and address the challenges our girls face. As you can see from this site, it is a goal worth pursuing. I want to thank our girls, their families, the Girls Court staff and the people who work with us for their insight, their commitment and their energy. Stay tuned! There are lots of good things to come. We trust in the underlying strength and resiliency of our girls and their continued growth. Once you’ve explored our website and you have further questions, we welcome your contact."

Girls Court Former Judge
Judge Jennifer Ching
10/2010 TO 06/2019

"I was honored to be the Judge for Girls Court Program from October 2010 to June 2019. We provided trauma-informed care to the girls and their families, and seek to create places of healing for them. By guiding the girls to discover what their gifts are, we aim to identify ways to help them feel intelligent, competent, creative, and unique. Every cohort is an incredible year of metamorphosis. The positive changes are a result of the trust and commitment of the girls and their families, the devoted Girls Court team, and the generous, marvelous people we partner with in the community." Behold the beautiful butterflies ~ Our young women!! There is much to celebrate. We are so proud of all of the girls, and we will continue to support them in their journey through life."
