The New Hampshire Access to Justice Commission released its 2021 report on the civil legal needs of Granite Staters and its findings reaffirm what was already known – poverty itself creates problems that require legal assistance.
“Low-income people, older adults, and people with disabilities frequently experience multiple legal problems at once,” the report states.
The New Hampshire Access to Justice Commission was created by the NH Supreme Court with the purpose of implementing changes to improve citizens access to the courts. One of the commission’s duties consists of identifying and assessing current and future needs for access to justice in civil matters.
