Bar News - January 5, 2007 NH Supreme Court Orders R-2006-0001 In re 2006 Annual Report of the Advisory Committee on Rules Pending before the New Hampshire Supreme Court is a proposal to adopt Supreme Court Rule 57, which would establish the New Hampshire Lawyers’ Assistance Program. The New Hampshire Bar Association has filed a proposal regarding how the Lawyers’ Assistance Program should be funded. The proposal would reduce the current assessment imposed upon attorneys to fund the Public Protection Fund established by Supreme Court Rule 55, while imposing an assessment upon attorneys to fund the Lawyers’ Assistance Program. Under this proposal, the total of the two assessments would not exceed the current assessment for the Public Protection Fund. On or before January 29, 2007, members of the bench, bar, legislature, executive branch, or public may file with the clerk of the supreme court comments on this funding proposal. Comments may be filed with the clerk of the supreme court; an original and seven copies of all comments shall be filed. Comments may instead be e-mailed to the court at: rulescomment@courts.state.nh.us The Bar Associations’ funding proposal is described in Appendix A. Proposed Supreme Court Rule 57 is set forth in Appendix B. Copies of the appendices are available upon request to the clerk of the supreme court at the N.H. Supreme Court Building, 1 Charles Doe Drive, Concord, New Hampshire 03301 (Tel. 603-271-2646).
