Circuit courts may resume jury trials on September 1 “barring further public health or other extraordinary developments that would make doing so imprudent. Grand juries have already resumed in the Second (Maui County) and Fifth (Kauaʻi) circuits. First (Oʻahu) and Third (Hawaiʻi Island) circuits will resume grand jury proceedings in July.

Community members on Maui who are unable to afford a lawyer will now have an opportunity to prepare their case with the assistance of a Self-Help Center staffed by volunteer attorneys.

Volunteer attorneys will help self-represented litigants by providing legal information on District Court and Family Court civil matters including landlord tenant disputes, collection issues, temporary restraining orders, and divorce cases. There is no charge for the service.
