text:  And finally, whatever the reason, the Hawaii State Judiciary appears to be struggling to attract fresh applicants. On Thursday, it put out a notice that it had extended a deadline for a Maui family court judge vacancy, issued a second deadline extension for a vacancy on the Intermediate Court of Appeals, and issued a third extension for a circuit court judge for Hawaii Island. Three more judicial vacancies also just opened for a district court judge and two family court judges on Oahu.
