Representing Yourself in the Hawaii State Judiciary
The Hawaii Rules of Civil Procedure (HRCP) are the foundation of every civil case in the islands. Pro se litigants must navigate the Judiciary Electronic Filing System (JEFS), which requires documents to be formatted into specific PDF sizes and categories. Whether you are filing a “Complaint” in the First Circuit (Oahu) or the Second Circuit (Maui), precision is mandatory.
