HRS §584A-509

Court filings and minutes must be posted online

The courts must put the titles of filings and minutes of hearings on their website for cases under this chapter, but not for parts VIII or IX. Private information must be removed. A court can close a case to the public for good reason, and other records stay private unless both sides agree or a court orders otherwise.
