Tales from the Bench by Sandra Simms is a pioneer memoir about a
neglected slice of Hawaii judicial history. In this unique,
insightful, and compelling book, written by the first African
American woman judge in the Hawaiian Islands, Simms candidly
reveals the cultural and political events and forces on the
Mainland, and the diversity, crime, and social problems in the
Islands that shaped her courage and commitment to justice, in spite
of and because of her history: growing up black in Chicago. She
credits her family, community, social networks, church, the dynamic
forces of post WWII African American migrations to Chicago, and the
Civil Rights Movement for her choice and dedication to a career in
law. Simms uses words and storytelling to skillfully integrate her
personal background with her subsequent 30 plus years in Hawaii
where she successfully served as an attorney, a politically
appointed judge, and a witness (observer) of many fascinating
experiences. In this book, Simms sensitively recounts memorable
criminal cases involving women, drugs, island families and their
support for their loved ones, simultaneously revealing the heart
and responsibility of a judge to remain objective and fair in face
of complex situations and island politics.
