Hawaii State Records Honolulu, HI Court records are open and accessible to anyone because of the Freedom of Information Act and their equivalents present in every state, meaning any American has access to the events and occurrences of any trial or court event. These functions consist of court records, lien judgements, criminal trials, civil trials, bankruptcy findings, and lawsuit details. The only exception is when an archive is legally deemed redacted, sealed, or nullified. This is the case with juvenile criminal court records, divorce records (which are frequently only accessible to people getting divorced and their legal advisors), sealed birth records (for closed adoptions), or in cases of victim anonymity.
