A new study of civil legal needs in New Hampshire assesses the kinds of civil legal problems faced by Granite Staters and their experiences seeking low and no cost legal help. The civil legal needs assessment was sponsored by the New Hampshire Supreme Courtâs Access to Justice Commission.
âThe Judicial Branch was pleased to partner with other funders, the Commission, and the civil legal aid programs to make this needs assessment possible,â said Associate Justice James Bassett of the New Hampshire Supreme Court. âIt will help improve our understanding of the kinds of civil legal needs experienced by low-income Granite Staters and the obstacles they confront when seeking affordable legal help.â
