CONCORD — Former Attorney General Gordon MacDonald was sworn in as chief justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court on Thursday in a ceremony where he paid tribute to a former judge and mentor who gifted him his own judicial robes.
“The law is a profession that renews and regenerates through role models and mentorship,” MacDonald said in a ceremony at the courthouse. “There is no better role model and mentor as a lawyer and as a judge than Norman Stahl, and there could be no better friend. He never lost faith in me.”
