Haw. Code. Jud. Cond. 3.12
A judge may accept reasonable compensation for extrajudicial activities permitted by this Code or other law* unless such acceptance would appear to a reasonable person to materially impair the judge's independence,* integrity,* impartiality,* temperament, or fitness to fulfill the duties of judicial office.
Code Comparison
The Hawai'i Revised Code of Judicial Conduct modifies ABA Model Code Rule 3.12 by (1) substituting "materially impair" for "undermine" and (2) adding "temperament, or fitness to fulfill the duties of judicial office."

COMMENT:
[1] A judge is permitted to accept honoraria, stipends, fees, wages, salaries, royalties, or other compensation for speaking, teaching, writing, and other extrajudicial activities, provided the compensation is reasonable and commensurate with the task performed. The judge should be mindful, however, that the duties of judicial office must take precedence over other activities. See Rule 2.1.
[2] Compensation derived from extrajudicial activities may be subject to public reporting. See Rule 3.15.
