Dear [Judge's Name], I am writing to request a trial setting for a non-jury trial in the state of Hawaii. As the [Plaintiff/Defendant], I believe this is the best approach for resolving the legal matter at hand. I have carefully considered the implications of a non-jury trial and believe it is the most appropriate course of action. Hawaii recognizes the importance of providing options for litigants to choose the type of trial they prefer. A non-jury trial, also known as a bench trial, involves a judge presiding over the case and making decisions on matters of law and fact. This type of trial can be beneficial in cases where complex legal issues are involved, or when the evidence is primarily documentary or expert testimony. In Hawaii, there are two primary types of non-jury trials: 1. General Civil Trials: These trials encompass a wide range of civil matters, including contract disputes, property disputes, personal injury claims, and more. In these cases, the judge serves as both the decision-maker and the fact-finder. Both the [Plaintiff/Defendant] and I believe that a non-jury trial would streamline the proceedings and ensure a fair and efficient resolution to the matter. 2. Family Court Trials: In Hawaii, family law matters such as divorce, child custody, and spousal support are typically resolved through non-jury trials at the Family Court. This allows the judge to carefully consider the unique circumstances of each case and make decisions in the best interest of the family involved. A non-jury trial in family law matters can help minimize the emotional strain on all parties involved and provide a timely resolution for the issues at hand. I respectfully request a trial setting for a non-jury trial in the above-mentioned case based on the relevant circumstances. I believe that this approach will not only save the court's time and resources but also ensure a fair and just resolution to the matter. If you require any additional information or documents to process this request, please let me know, and I will promptly provide them. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
