The NH Citizens Commission on the State Courts has issued its findings to the NH Supreme Court after more than a year of intensive effort and study by a commission of mostly non-lawyers.

The report proposes 30 recommendations, ranging from initiatives to improve the “customer service” orientation of the courts; more rapid implementation of technology for both court processing and to provide more information; case managers to assist litigants in family courts; greater use of sentencing alternatives and more resources for substance abuse treatment; and continued cooperation and information-sharing between the branches of government.

Commission co-chairs Will Abbott and Katharine Eneguess pledged to continue working with the court system to follow up to ensure that the report’s recommendations are considered for implementation.
