Bar News - May 9, 2003 50-Year Members to be Honored Shared Professionalism, Friendships Forge Strong Bonds Among Bar Members RICHARD BROUILLARD AND John P. Chandler, two of the 23 veteran Bar members being honored at this year’s NHBA Annual Meeting for a half-century of service to the public and their profession, have a friendship that goes all the way back to their beginnings in the law. Brouillard, a Laconia native and a product of Georgetown University School of Law, and Chandler, whose family owned a cottage in Tuftonboro, met while taking a Bar review course in 1953 in the Concord law office of Ted Gallagher. Chandler, who had spent only summers in New Hampshire, didn’t know where he was going to work after passing the Bar until Brouillard tipped him off that Laconia attorney Bernard Snierson was looking for an associate. Chandler was associated with Snierson, who later was appointed a municipal court judge, for many years. Meanwhile, Brouillard, who was still in the military, passed the Bar exam and then returned to service as an Army judge advocate general, helping to investigate and prosecute a number of POWs accused of collaborating with their North Korean captors during the Korean War. After his service, he returned to Laconia and went to work for Laconia attorney Robert Johnson, Sr. Brouillard and Chandler have remained close friends ever since, including living only a few doors away from each other in Laconia until recently. Their friendship, which spanned both their professional and personal lives, is characteristic of the close-knit nature of the New Hampshire Bar. Look for more on the careers of Brouillard and Chandler, and of their other colleagues being honored this year, to be featured in subsequent issues of Bar News. In addition to full abatement of their dues, these members also will be specially recognized at a reception at the NHBA Annual Meeting. New Honorary Members Hon. William F. Batchelder, retired NH Supreme Court associate justice, Plymouth, remains on active status (Unless otherwise indicated, the non-judicial members remain on active status.)
