The Hawaii Circuit Courts are the state trial courts in Hawaii, handling a variety of cases, including civil, criminal, family, and probate matters. Each of the four judicial circuits corresponds to a specific geographic area, with the First Circuit covering Honolulu and the others serving the outer islands. These courts are essential for ensuring justice and resolving disputes within the community. Each circuit court has a chief judge and several associate judges who oversee cases, conduct trials, and make legal decisions based on state laws and regulations.
