CLEMENT KAREL QUINN, Lawyer and Jurist. In quest of adventure, Clement K. 
Quinn boarded the steamer “Mariposa” in San Francisco in the year 1898, bound 
for Hawaii. He has remained in the islands since, building a reputation as a 
lawyer and jurist and rearing a large family.

circuit court, and, entering the legal profession, eventually rose to a place 
on the circuit court bench. He qualified for the bar examinations in 1908, 
having studied law under the Hon. W. J. Robinson for six years. He practiced 
law until 1916 when he was appointed judge of the Fourth Circuit Court by the 
late President Woodrow Wilson, and was reappointed to that position June 12, 
1920, remaining on the bench until the end of the Wilson administration, when 
he resumed private practice in Honolulu.
 Mr. Quinn was born at Elkader, Iowa, Nov. 20, 1877, the son of Robert and 
Sarah (Caroll) Quinn and the youngest of fourteen children. He was educated in 
the public and high schools of Iowa. His parents were born and reared in 
Lincested, Kildare, Ireland, came to America in 1855 and after a short stay in 
New York went to Iowa, where they were early pioneers in that section of the 
Middle West. His mother died in 1907 and his father in 1917.
  Mr. Quinn and Lulu McWayne were married in Honolulu, March 29, 1911. They 
were the parents of five children, Muriel (deceased), Mary Dorothy (deceased),
