HRS §612-5
When a juror must step aside due to a conflict
This law says a person cannot serve as a juror in a case if their close relative (up to a third-degree family connection) is a party, or if the juror or that relative has a financial stake in the outcome. It is a narrow rule about juror disqualification.

The statute, as written — Disqualification by interest
No person shall sit as a juror in any case in which the person's relative by affinity or by consanguinity within the third degree is interested, either as a plaintiff or defendant, or in the issue of which the juror has, either directly or through such relative, any pecuniary interest.
