The NH Supreme Court: How Recent Trends Can Inform Future Litigation Strategies
February 6, 2023
4:30 p.m. – 7 p.m.
UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law, Intellectual Property Center, Room 282
The NH Supreme Court: How Recent Trends Can Inform Future Litigation Strategies, a panel discussion presented by the New Hampshire Supreme Court Society and the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership & Public Service. Panelists will examine recent trends in NH Supreme Court civil and criminal jurisprudence and explore how they can be used to craft future litigation. Among the trends to be discussed: several court orders affirming and expanding access to public records under the Right-to-Know law.
“This is an incredible opportunity to learn from leading attorneys in criminal and civil appellate practice how trends in the Supreme Court’s decisions impact the lives and individual liberties of everyday Granite Staters,” said Emma Sisti, trustee of the New Hampshire Supreme Court Society. “Our panelists will cover topics such as voting rights, public records, search and seizure, and the standard of review in ways that will be accessible and engaging for lawyers and non-lawyers. We are very much looking forward to hosting our first in-person event since 2019.”
Lawyers, judges, civics educators, students of all ages, and the general public are encouraged to attend.
The panel will be moderated by retired New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice Carol Ann Conboy, with a reception to follow (6 p.m. – 7 p.m). Panelists include:
- Elizabeth Woodcock, Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Justice Bureau
- Chris Johnson, Chief Appellate Defender
- Gilles Bissonnette, legal director, ACLU of New Hampshire
- Jim Kennedy, City Solicitor, City of Concord
This is a 90-minute CLE program, 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., with reception to follow, 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
