The Hawaii State Intermediate Court of Appeals (ICA) is the intermediate appellate court of the Hawaii State Judiciary.[2] It has jurisdiction over appeals from lower courts and agencies.[3]
The ICA is composed of one chief judge and six associate judges,[4] who sit in randomly selected panels of three. Each judge is appointed to an initial ten-year term by the Governor.[5] Judges are nominated by the Governor from a list of four to six names submitted by the Judicial Selection Commission.[6] A judge's nomination is subject to confirmation by the Hawaii Senate, but reappointments require only approval of the Judicial Selection Commission.[7] Under article VI, §3 of the Hawaii Constitution, all judges of the Intermediate Court of Appeals, like the justices of the Supreme Court of Hawaii and the judges of the Hawaii State Circuit Courts, have a mandatory retirement age of 70.
