No retirement age; however, judges lose their earned retirement benefits if they do not apply for retirement before turning 73.

The Hawaii Mandatory Retirement Age for Justices and Judges, SB 886 (2014) received almost unanimous support in the Hawaii House of Representatives and Hawaii Senate, and had the support of Governor Neil Abercrombie.
