Volunteer Opportunities for Those Who Like To Research & Write

Writing is a great way for new and seasoned lawyers to gain visibility, share knowledge, leverage research you have already conducted and provide a service to the public. Here are some of the major opportunities available.

Practice tips, short articles on substantive topics, book reviews, interviews, and… Supreme Court At-a-Glance, a monthly feature summarizing New Hampshire Supreme Court slip opinions from the previous month.
