Hawaii court records are filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court (state-run). The Circuit Court / District Court handles trial-level cases. Hawaii offers a statewide court search through Hawaii eCourt Kokua, which covers most case types across all counties courts.
What this page covers: Hawaii state court case records — criminal, civil, family, and probate filings. What it does not cover: Federal court cases (those are on PACER) or sealed/juvenile records.
Where to start: Use Hawaii eCourt Kokua for online case search. If you need documents beyond docket information, contact the Clerk of the Circuit Court (state-run) in the specific county where the case was filed.
Common mistake: Hawaii eCourt Kokua covers state courts only. Federal cases filed in Hawaii (bankruptcy, federal criminal, federal civil) require PACER — a separate federal system.
