Legal career
King started personal law practice in Washington, DC in 1942. During World War II, he joined the United States Navy as a Japanese translator from 1942 to 1946, and the Navy Reserve from 1946 to 1967. He returned to legal practice personally in Honolulu, Hawaii from 1946 to 1961. He was a District Magistrate for the City and County Honolulu from 1956 to 1961. Governor William F. Quinn appointed him as a judge at the Hawaii First Circuit Court from 1961 to 1970, and then a judge on the Family Court of Hawaii from 1966 to 1970. In 1970 he resigned as a judge and ran for Republican for the governor of Hawaii, losing to John A. Burns. He returned to private law practice from 1970 to 1972.
King was nominated by Richard M. Nixon on May 22, 1972 to the seat left by Cyrus Nils Tavares in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on 28 June 1972, and received his commission on June 28, 1972. He served as a chief judge from 1974. In 1975 he led a case punishing a suspected organized crime leader Wilford Kalaauala "Nappy" Pulawa for tax evasion. Although there were two judges authorized for the district, another judge, Dick Yin Wong, died in 1978. The king had to try all cases except for the occasional relief from visiting the land judge. Walter Meheula Heen was nominated in January 1981 through a recess appointment, but was not confirmed, so by the end of 1981 King was again the sole judge. In 1983 King suffered temporary amnesia, and assumed a senior status on November 30, 1984.
He continues to hear cases, including murder trials depicted in And Will Will Tell books going on in the remote Palmyra Atoll. The court moved to California due to pre-trial publicity, and included defense lawyers Vincent Bugliosi and Leonard Weinglass. He is known as a mentor to many Hawaii lawyers and judges including US District Judge David A. Ezra, Susan Oki Mollway, and J. Michael Seabright.
In 1997 he joined other senior senior leaders to publish a "Broken Trust" essay in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin newspaper. His co-authors are Judge Walter Heen, Monsignor Charles Kekumano, Gladys Brandt educator, and William S. Richardson Law School Professor Randall W. Roth. The investigation requested by the report resulted in the reorganization of the Kamehameha School. He and Roth co-authored a book extending the essay, which was published in 2006.
On December 7, 2010, he died at the Kuakini Medical Center due to a head injury he received while falling. Adrienne King, married her son Samuel Pailthorpe King, Jr. (both lawyers), ran for governor in 2010 but lost in Republicans.
