Proposed Changes In The Courts In New Hampshire
The judiciary committee advances a new judiciary bill with a salary rise for the chief justice to 3200 dollars. It proposes that Supreme Judicial Court justices become ex officio Superior Court justices and that the Superior Court chief justice sit as an ex officio Supreme Judicial Court justice in emergencies. Lawyers heard the bill, but most feel a court-system change is not expedient now and a session action seems unlikely.
