The Hawaii judicial system is mainly divided into circuit courts and district courts. Family courts are a division of these courts. While circuit courts hold jurisdiction on most legal matters, cases are tried only after they fall out of the jurisdiction of other courts. The Hawaii land courts and tax appeal court have limited jurisdiction on cases that have to do with matters of land or tax.

Usually the Hawaii circuit courts handle civil cases where dispute is of more than $10,000, criminal cases, probate cases, domestic relations and those to do with juveniles. The courts have exclusive jurisdiction on cases that deal with felonies, probate cases and in matters of guardianship. Family courts try cases of domestic relations and also criminal cases that occur within the family. If a case falls beyond the jurisdiction of the family courts it is transferred to with a district court or a circuit court.

Hawaii district courts handle virtually all kinds of civil as well as criminal cases. However if a case requires jury trial then it is transferred to a circuit court. To find the Hawaii court records you seek visit www.courtrecords.org today!
