This paper is on the theory and practice of the institution of ombudsman with much interests in the experience of Hawaii ombudsman.
This paper is comprised of 4 parts.
First, I am going to build the ideal typus of the institution of ombudsman and consider the meaning and speacial characters of the institution.
Secondly, the evolution and variation of the institution of ombudsman wii be reviewed. the focus is on the legislative ombudsman. after brief sketch of 3 types of the institution, that is, Swedish- Finland model, New Zealand model, and British model, I wii consider the appticability of the institution to differing legal system.
Thirdly, I am going to examine the summaries of selected cases investigated by the Hawaii ombudsman office during the fiscal year 1991-1992.
Lastly, I am going to consider the matter of evaluation of the institution of ombudsman. The issue can be categorired into 3 dimensions. that is, the intrinsic limits of the institution, actual performance, and the social costs of the institution. Thereafter, I am going to introduce the checklist which Hawaii ombudsman adopts to evaluate the performance of public agencies and its own complaint investigation.
