Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals

The Intermediate Court of Appeals was established in 1979.Act 111, Session Laws of Hawaii 1979 The court consisted of one chief judge and two associate judges.Haw. Rev. Stat. § 602-12 (1979) Annual salary of the chief judge was set at $45,000 and the associates judges were set at $43,750.Haw. Rev. Stat. § 602-13 (1979) The court shared concurrent jurisdiction with the Hawaii Supreme Court.Haw. Rev. Stat. § 602-5 (1979).

Originally, Hawaii adopted the so-called "push-down" or "deflective" model of appellate procedure still used in a small number of other states. Following judgment or appropriate agency decision, a party filed an application for writ of certiorari with the Hawaii Supreme Court.Haw. Rev. Stat. § 602-5 (1979). Following granting of a writ of certiorari, the Hawaii Supreme Court would then assign the case to the Intermediate Court of Appeals or to itself.Haw. Rev. Stat. § 602-5 (1979). The Hawaii Supreme Court could also reassign a case to itself under limited circumstances.Haw. Rev. Stat. § 602-5(9) (1979).

In 1992, the court expanded to one chief judge and three associate judges.Act 253, Session Laws of Hawaii 1992.

In 2001, the court expanded to one chief judge and five associate judges.Act 248, Session Laws of Hawaii 2001.

In 2004, Hawaii changed its appellate procedure so that all appeals from the lower courts and agency decisions would now go directly to the Intermediate Court of Appeals, meaning that court would normally be the first to rule on the merits of an appeal.Act 202, Session Laws of Hawaii 2004. However, a party could still submit an application to transfer a case to the Hawaii Supreme Court upon the grounds of a question of imperative or fundamental public importance; an appeal from a decision of any court or agency when appeals are allowed by law invalidating an amendment to the state constitution or determining a state statute, county ordinance, or agency rule to be invalid on the grounds that it was invalidly enacted or is unconstitutional, on its face or as applied, under either the constitution of the State or the United States; or a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.{{cite web| title=Haw.
