Bar News - April 15, 2011 NH Supreme Court Orders To facilitate participation by as many lawyers and judges as possible in the New Hampshire Bar Association’s "A Lawyer and Judge In Every School" program in celebration of Law Day, the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, pursuant to RSA 490:4, directs that participation by a lawyer or a judge in the program on Friday, May 6, 2011, generally should serve as sufficient grounds to continue any conflicting hearings scheduled on that date. A judge or master may decide, in his or her discretion, not to continue proceedings in a particular case if the judge or master believes that interests such as the efficient administration of the court or ensuring justice in the case compel that a proceeding remain scheduled for that day. Date: March 14, 2011 ATTEST: Eileen Fox, Clerk of Court Supreme Court of New Hampshire By order dated January 19, 2011, we adopted new Family Division Rule 1.25-A, regarding mandatory initial self-disclosure, as set forth in Appendix A, and ordered that the new rule would take effect on April 1, 2011. In March 2011, Administrative Judge Edwin Kelly requested that the effective date of this rule be delayed in light of the amount of staff time that will be necessary for implementation of this new rule. After consideration of Justice Kelly’s request, the court agrees that implementation of new Family Division Rule 1.25-A should be delayed. Accordingly, Family Division Rule 1.25-A shall not take effect on April 1, 2011; the effective date of Family Division Rule 1.25-A is hereby delayed until further order of this court.
