HRS §658J-10
Who can take part in arbitration and how
This section says who can be involved in an arbitration and what they can do. A party can bring a lawyer, bring a support person who won't testify or argue, and take part as fully as state law allows. No one can talk to the arbitrator privately unless family law rules allow it.
