The Seal of the Prosecuting Attorney

This emblem superimposes the scales of justice over the Island of Oahu.  The large star on the left represents Hawaii's star on the U.S. flag.  The crossed sticks on the right are puloulou sticks, the traditional Hawaiian symbol of rank and authority.  Above the scales of justice is the seal of the State of Hawaii.

The white ring represents purity and integrity.  It is bordered by a gold braid which symbolizes the cords of the robe of justice.

The Hawaiian motto, "E Malama A E Ho'opale I kaulike" means "To Preserve and Defend Justice."
