He attended Kent School in Connecticut and pursued an undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.〔(Peter B. Carlisle ), National District Attorneys Association. Accessed December 3, 2007. "It’s a long, long way from Ridgewood, New Jersey, to Honolulu, Hawaii—geographically, demographically and meteorologically—but Peter B. Carlisle has made the journey and transition with ease."〕 After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and English, he attended the UCLA School of Law. Carlisle first came to Hawaii in 1978 where he met and married Judy. Peter Carlisle's first experience with prosecution in Hawaii came in a work/study program with the Honolulu prosecutor's office. After receiving his Juris Doctor degree from UCLA, he was recruited as a deputy prosecutor for the City and County of Honolulu. He remained in that job for over a decade, attaining the responsibility of chief of the Career Criminal Unit. In 1988, Carlisle went into private practice for the Honolulu law firm of Shim, Tam, Kirimitsu, Kitamura and Chang where he worked for eight years, mostly handling personal injury cases.〔(Honolulu Magazine, August 2008 )〕 In 1996 he ran for Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu and was elected. Carlisle is an opponent of capital punishment. While in office as prosecuting attorney he pushed for tougher sentencing laws and led a successful fight to amend the state constitution to allow for "information charging" and eliminate the requirement that victims and other witnesses testify during preliminary or grand jury hearings.〔 He was later criticized by the Hawai'i Supreme Court for using taxpayer money to promote the constitutional amendment.〔(Honolulu Advertiser, March 13, 2007 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Carlisle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
