The Supreme Court is seated in the state capital, <a href="/wiki/Concord,_New_Hampshire" title="Concord, New Hampshire">Concord</a>. The Court is composed of a Chief Justice and four Associate Justices appointed by the <a href="/wiki/Governor_of_New_Hampshire" title="Governor of New Hampshire">Governor</a> and <a href="/wiki/Executive_Council_of_New_Hampshire" title="Executive Council of New Hampshire">Executive Council</a> to serve during "good behavior" until retirement or the age of seventy. The senior member of the Court is able to specially assign lower-court judges, as well as retired justices, to fill vacancies on the Court. </p><p>The Supreme Court is the administrative authority over the state's judicial system. The Court has both mandatory and discretionary appellate jurisdiction. In 2000, the Court created a "Three Judges Expedited" or 3JX panel to issue decisions in cases of less precedential value, with its decision only binding on the present case. In 2004, the court began accepting all appeals from the trial courts for the first time in 25 years. </p><p>From 1776 to 1876, the then four-member court was known as the "<b>Superior Court of Judicature</b>", until the name was changed by an act of the <a href="/wiki/New_Hampshire_General_Court" title="New Hampshire General Court">New Hampshire General Court</a>. In 1901, the number of justices was increased from four to five.

The newly formed <a href="/wiki/Legislature" title="Legislature">legislature</a> abolished the existing executive courts made up of the governor and council, and established the "Superior Court of Judicature" as the appellate court with four justices. The Court follows the <a href="/wiki/Common_law" title="Common law">common law</a> and since <i><a href="/wiki/Tomson_v._Ward" title="Tomson v. Ward">Tomson v.

In 1876, an act was passed creating the "Supreme Court" as New Hampshire's highest court. </p><p>In 1901, the legislature established two courts to take the place of the existing Supreme Court. Jurisdiction over "law terms" during which court decisions were appealed, was given to the Supreme Court, which was made up of a chief justice and four associate justices. Matters formerly handled at "trial terms" were given to the <a href="/wiki/New_Hampshire_Superior_Court" title="New Hampshire Superior Court">Superior Court</a>. The advantage was a separate appeals court, of which the trial judge was not a member. </p><p>In 1966, the <a href="/wiki/New_Hampshire_Constitution" class="mw-redirect" title="New Hampshire Constitution">state constitution</a> was amended to establish the Supreme Court and Superior Court as constitutional courts, which means that they could only be changed or abolished by a constitutional amendment, not by the legislature. </p><p>In 1971, the <a href="/wiki/New_Hampshire_General_Court" title="New Hampshire General Court">General Court</a> established by statute a "<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/indexes/490-A.html">Unified Court System</a>," making the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court responsible for the efficient operation of all the courts in New Hampshire. The law stated the Supreme Court Chief Justice will have the advice and consent of the Chief Justice of the Superior Court. It also required both to seek cooperation from others interested in the administration of justice including other justices and judges, court clerks, the court accreditation committee, the state and local bar associations, and the judicial council. The 24-member <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/indexes/494.html">Judicial Council</a> is an ongoing, independent forum for consideration and discussion of issues involving the administration of justice. </p><p>In 1978, New Hampshire voters approved the addition of Part II, Article 73-a, a constitution amendment to the constitution making the Chief Justice the administrative head of the court and giving the Judicial Branch greater control over itself. </p><p>In 1983, the General Courts consolidated funding for all the state courts into the state's biennial budget. This abolished the prior practice of the superior and probate courts funded by the counties and the district courts by the cities and towns in which they were located. The Office of Administrative Services, now known as the Administrative Office of the Courts, was established. The office consolidated functions such as personnel, accounting, technology and budgeting into one central office for the Judicial Branch. </p><p>In May 2000, the Supreme Court announced the creation of a new Judicial Conduct Commission (JCC) that would be totally independent of the court system and have its own staff, office space, and funding. The Judicial Conduct Commission took the place of the prior Judicial Conduct Committee, which the court had created in 1977. In 2004, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/LI/494-A/494-A-12.htm">RSA Chapter 494-A</a> came into effect codified the JCC as being completely independent of the New Hampshire court system and other branches of government. The legislature effectively left the rules the JCC intact, except where they contradicted the RSA Chapter 494-A. The Supreme Court took an appeal, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.courts.state.nh.us/supreme/opinions/2004/jcc078.htm">Petition of the Judicial Conduct Commission (2004)</a>, from the JCC that RSA chapter 494-A was unconstitutional because it purported to authorize the JCC to impose disciplinary action on judges. The court ruled that the legislature had violated the separation of powers doctrine (Part I, Article 37) by encroaching on the power of the Supreme Court to regulate the conduct of the judiciary, by giving such power to the commission. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Jurisdiction">Jurisdiction</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=New_Hampshire_Supreme_Court&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Jurisdiction"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table align="right" class="wikitable"> <caption><b>NH Supreme Court Cases: FY 2003, 2004</b> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Caseload Summary </th> <th align="right">2003 </th> <th align="right">2004 </th></tr> <tr> <td>Pending and reinstated cases*</td> <td align="right">389</td> <td align="right">346 </td></tr> <tr> <td>New filings</td> <td align="right">842</td> <td align="right">898 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Total</td> <td align="right">1,231</td> <td align="right">1,244 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Dispositions</td> <td align="right">893</td> <td align="right">721 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Pending cases*</td> <td align="right">338</td> <td align="right">523 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Cases accepted</td> <td align="right">347</td> <td align="right">645 </td></tr> <tr> <th>Disposition of Cases </th> <th align="right">2003 </th> <th align="right">2004 </th></tr> <tr> <td>Written Opinion</td> <td align="right">186</td> <td align="right">151 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Declined</td> <td align="right">317</td> <td align="right">99 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Summary Affirmance</td> <td align="right">99</td> <td align="right">28 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Withdrawn</td> <td align="right">58</td> <td align="right">69 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Orders After Argument</td> <td align="right">115</td> <td align="right">198 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Denied/Dismissed</td> <td align="right">65</td> <td align="right">126 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Others</td> <td align="right">53</td> <td align="right">50 </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="3">* <i>At year's end</i> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The court hears a variety of cases, most of which are either mandatory or discretionary appeals from the lower courts.

For many years, the Court did not accept every appeal from the lower courts. In 2003, the court only accepted 40 percent of the appeals. In January 2004, the Supreme Court instituted mandatory appeals on the final decisions on the merits from the Family Division and the District, Probate and Superior Courts, under <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.courts.state.nh.us/rules/scr/scr-7.htm">Supreme Court Rule 7</a>. In mandatory appeals, the parties generally are given the opportunity to submit a transcript of the lower court proceedings and to file written briefs. After the briefs are filed, the Supreme Court decides if the case will be decided after oral argument or on the briefs alone. The court will then issue a final decision in the form of a brief order, an order with some explanation, or a full written opinion. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Discretionary_appeals_and_original_jurisdiction">Discretionary appeals and original jurisdiction</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=New_Hampshire_Supreme_Court&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Discretionary appeals and original jurisdiction"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Conditions which make the aforementioned appeals discretionary are: a post-conviction review proceeding; a proceeding involving the collateral challenge to a conviction or sentence; a sentence modification or suspension proceeding; an imposition of sentence proceeding; a parole revocation proceeding; or a probation revocation proceeding. On September 7, 2005, the Supreme Court adopted a temporary addition to the exceptions to mandatory appeals, adding appeals from a final decision on the merits issued in a landlord/tenant action or in a possessory action, both under RSA Chapter 540. Administrative appeals, interlocutory appeals and interlocutory transfers, and certain limited appeals from the decisions of the trial courts are also discretionary appeals. The court also has original jurisdiction to issue writs of certiorari, prohibition, habeas corpus and other writs, which the court has discretion to decide which cases to hear. If a discretionary appeal is accepted, it typically follows the same process as a mandatory appeal. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Three_Judges_Expedited_(3JX)"><span id="Three_Judges_Expedited_.283JX.29"></span>Three Judges Expedited (3JX)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=New_Hampshire_Supreme_Court&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Three Judges Expedited (3JX)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In December 2000, the Supreme Court instituted a Three Judges Expedited (3JX) summary procedure to reduce cases requiring oral argument.

Stephen Thayer, III and Related Matters," which brought to light information raising concerns about the conduct of justices of the Supreme Court. The key to the investigation was an unsigned memo, attributed to Supreme Court Clerk Howard Zibel, which was delivered to the Attorney General by Brock's personal lawyer. The Zibel memo detailed ethical violations by members of the Supreme Court witnessed by the author; which surrounded the conduct of Justice <a href="/wiki/W._Steven_T._Thayer_III" class="mw-redirect" title="W. Steven T. Thayer III">W. Steven T. Thayer III</a> in the Feld's Case and the appeal of Thayer v. Thayer (his own divorce) and resulted in the criminal investigation of Thayer, which resulted in Thayer resigning to avoid prosecution. </p><p>On April 9, 2000, the House voted 343 to 7 to approve HR 50 authorizing and directing the House Judiciary Committee "to investigate whether cause exists for the impeachment of David A. Brock, chief justice, and/or any other justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court" and to report to the House "such resolutions, articles of impeachment, or other recommendations that it deems proper." </p><p>The committee conducted its investigation and it proposed the House adopt HR 51, "A RESOLUTION recommending impeachment of supreme court chief justice David A. Brock," which is authored. The committee found by <a href="/wiki/Clear_and_convincing_evidence" class="mw-redirect" title="Clear and convincing evidence">clear and convincing evidence</a> that there were constitutional grounds for impeachment and subsequent removal if Brock was found to have committed all or any of the four <a href="/wiki/Articles_of_impeachment" class="mw-redirect" title="Articles of impeachment">articles of impeachment</a>. The four articles charged Brock with: </p> <ol><li>Maladministration or malpractice in connection with the case of <i>Home Gas Corp. v. Strafford Fuels, Inc. and Edward C. Dupont</i>;</li> <li>Maladministration or malpractice in connection with the case of <i>Thayer v. Thayer</i> by engaging in ex-parte communications;</li> <li>Knowingly testifying falsely under oath to the house judiciary committee with the intention of hindering the HR 50 investigation;</li> <li>Maladministration by permitting and overseeing a practice whereby recused and disqualified justices were enabled to comment on and influence opinions in the cases from which they were recused and disqualified.</li></ol> <p>The committee sent two resolutions to the House, HR 52 and HR 53 respectively, recommending that no article of impeachment be brought against Supreme Court justice Sherman D. Horton, Jr. or justice John T. Broderick, Jr. On July 12, 2000, the House debated the articles of impeachment against Brock. Representatives voted by simple majority, 253 to 95, to impeach Brock on all four charges and sent the case to the Senate for trial. The House voted to accept the committee's recommendation that Horton (187 to 134) and Broderick (176 to 144) not face impeachment. </p><p>The state constitution does not provide for the level of evidence required to determine whether such conduct is impeachable, or the number of votes required to convict, unlike the U.S. Constitution. The Senate conducted a three-week trial and ultimately acquitted Brock of all charges, finding the charges were not serious enough to warrant impeachment or that the evidence presented at trial was not persuasive. The Senate chose to require a two-thirds vote to convict, but let each senator to decide for themselves if the evidence rose to the level of finding Brock was "guilty" of the articles of impeachment. Fifteen senators were needed for a conviction, only seven voted to convict and fifteen voted to acquit. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Committees_of_the_court">Committees of the court</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=New_Hampshire_Supreme_Court&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Committees of the court"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The court has four committees that advise it on the administration of the judicial branch: The Advisory Committee on Rules, the Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics, the Judicial Conduct Committee and Attorney Discipline System. </p> <ul><li>The Advisory Committee on Rules, made up of 14 members from the court system and public, receives and considers suggestions for changes to the rules governing the court's system.</li> <li>The Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics provides advisory opinions on appropriate rules of court and statutes relating to the ethical and professional conduct of judges, and such advice would be evidence of good faith if they were to be disciplined.</li> <li>The Committee on Judicial Conduct was created by the court to inquire into and investigate alleged misconduct on the part of any judge, master, referee, court stenographer or reporter, or court clerk or deputy clerk, including registers of probate and any persons performing the duties of a clerk or register.
