Hawaii State Intermediate Court of Appeals
From dKosopedia
The Intermediate Court of Appeals, for most matters, has concurrent jurisdiction with the Hawaii State Supreme Court and hears any matter assigned to it by the Chief Justice or the Chief Justice's designee. Decisions of the Intermediate Court of Appeals may be reviewed by the Supreme Court upon an application for a writ of certiorari on grounds that the decision of the Intermediate Court of Appeals:
(1) contained grave errors of law or fact, or (2) was inconsistent with its prior decisions, with decisions of the Supreme Court, or with decisions of federal courts. [1]
Judges
The Intermediate Court of Appeals consists of one chief judge and five associate judges who sit in panels of three.
Members of the Intermediate Court of Appeals are appointed to an initial 10-year term by the Governor. The Governor selects appointees from a list of not less than four and not more than six names submitted by the Judicial Selection Commission. All appointments must be confirmed by the state Senate. To be considered for appointment, a person must be a resident and a citizen of the State and of the United States and licensed to practice law by the Supreme Court of Hawai`i for not less than ten years preceding their nomination. Judges may be retained by the Judicial Selection Commission, but must retire at age 70. [2]
