History
The Intermediate Court of Appeals was established in 1979.[8] The court consisted of one chief judge and two associate judges.[9] Annual salary of the chief judge was set at $45,000 and the associates judges were set at $43,750.[10] The court shared concurrent jurisdiction with the Hawaii Supreme Court.[11]
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
In 1992, the court expanded to one chief judge and three associate judges.[15]
In 2001, the court expanded to one chief judge and five associate judges.[16]
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.[17] 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.[18]
For the 2016-2017 state fiscal year, the budget for the Hawaii Supreme Court and the Intermediate Court of Appeals was approximately $6.7 million.[19]
In 2022, the court expanded to one chief judge and six associate judges.[20]
