NO FCRA USE. This website is privately owned and run. It has no affiliation with any local, state, or federal government body or court. Neither the website nor any of our advertising partners offer services meant for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or any other use covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We exist to help visitors find court dockets and case-record resources in Hawaii County and Hawaiʻi. The website is not a private investigation firm, and the website is not a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site. We operate on our own with no ties to any government office or court. The website does not store official dockets or court records, and the website cannot pull dockets, change court dates, or file documents for anyone.
What we do is point you toward the offices that hold Hawaii County court dockets - the Hawaiʻi State Judiciary clerks who maintain the docket, the Third Circuit courts that hear the matters, and eCourt Kōkua - and connect you with third-party tools that may help with your research.
2. Informational Use Only
Everything on the website is for general information. We explain how court dockets and case records generally work in Hawaii County, but the material is not a substitute for the official docket governed by the Hawaiʻi Court Records Rules, an order of a court, or the advice of an attorney. Use it as a starting point, then confirm anything that matters with the appropriate Judiciary clerk or the Third Circuit court that holds the case.
3. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using the website
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from the website
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against the pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. The website does not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from the website or any linked tool to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
If you need a background check for any of those purposes, use an FCRA-compliant screening company.
5. No Legal Advice
Nothing on the website is legal advice. We explain how court dockets generally work in Hawaii County, but the website cannot tell you how a case, charge, order, or filing deadline applies to your situation. For that, talk to a licensed Hawaiʻi attorney.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
Everything on the website is provided "as is." The website does not guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Dockets change constantly - cases are filed, hearings are set, settings get reset, and matters are sealed, dismissed, or amended. We try to keep up, but gaps are unavoidable. Nothing on the website should be treated as an official statement from a court or clerk. Always verify a docket entry or court date with the court that holds the case before you rely on it.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
The pages link to Judiciary clerk sites, Third Circuit court portals, eCourt Kōkua, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across the website. Clicking one of those links moves you off the website and onto one we have no control over. The website is not responsible for their content, how they handle data, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.
8. Intellectual Property
All text, graphics, logos, and code on the website belong to Hawaii County Court Docket or our content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or build on our content without getting written permission first.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, the website is not liable for damages that come from using the website - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used the website or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.
11. Governing Law
These terms fall under the laws of the State of Hawaiʻi. Any legal dispute connected to your use of the website must be filed in courts located within Hawaiʻi.
12. Changes to These Terms
We can update these terms whenever we see fit. New terms go into effect the moment they appear on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you look up a case or docket for me?
No. We are a private reference site with no access to the court's docketing system. You can run a case search yourself or contact the appropriate Judiciary clerk.
Can you change or confirm my court date?
No. Only the court can set, reset, or confirm a hearing. Check the court calendar and verify any date with the appropriate Judiciary clerk.
Is a docket entry on a linked tool official?
No. Docket data on third-party tools may be incomplete or out of date. The official docket comes from the appropriate Judiciary clerk that holds the case.
