Judicial Evaluations Update

The Judicial Branch has released a summary of findings on judicial evaluations conducted over the past three years in all court levels, including an electronic survey of the performance of the NH Supreme Court. Also the Court is creating a Judicial Performance Evaluation Advisory Committee to design and implement a more comprehensive evaluation process following passage of HB344-FN.

 

LawLine Host Needed - 9/12

A LawLine host is needed on Wednesday, September 12, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. LawLine, the Bar's popular legal hotline, is a very important public service that cannot happen without your help.

 

During the two-hour event, the Bar will forward phone calls from the public, with general legal questions, to your office at no expense to you. You provide the office and the volunteer attorneys to answer the calls, and the Bar provides the food and callers! It's a fun way to network with your colleagues while providing a valuable public service.

 

To volunteer or for more information, contact LawLine Coordinator Lisha Brosseau.
