Sabrina McKenna

Hawai'i Supreme Court Justice

Justice Sabrina McKenna is the first openly LGBTQ+ judge to sit on the Hawaii Supreme Court. She is a recipient of the 2021 ABA Stonewall Award, which honors individuals for their contributions to the LGBTQ+ community. Justice McKenna co-chaired the Hawaii Supreme Court’s Committee on Court Interpreters and Language Access in order to provide greater access to frequently underrepresented groups in the justice system. She was involved in the inclusion of gender identity and gender expression as protected categories in the judiciary’s anti-bias and harassment policies. Justice McKenna is currently working to make the Hawaii court rules and jury instructions non-binary and now makes her opinions non-binary.
