Hawaii Revised Statutes
Statutes and pattern jury instructions — search or jump to a citation.
Try terroristic threatening, a statute like 707-716, or a jury instruction like 9.20.
Case Criterion is a focused, searchable reference to Hawaiʻi law for Attorney General investigators — three official bodies of material in one place, linked together:
- Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes — 45 curated chapters (~2,500 sections, ~450 chargeable offenses) with full text, amendment history, cross-references, and the state’s own commentary and case notes.
- HAWJIC pattern jury instructions — all 470 criminal instructions, linked to the statutes they cover, so where one exists you get the exact elements the State must prove.
- Hawaiʻi Rules of Penal Procedure — the 68 court rules governing arrest, search and seizure (Rule 41), grand jury, discovery, and subpoenas.
Scope is deliberately curated to the AG units’ actual work, not the whole code. Everything is verbatim from the Legislature and the Judiciary — nothing summarized or invented. An unofficial working copy; verify against the official text before relying on it.
