The District Courts, located in 36 cities and towns across the state, are truly New Hampshire’s "community courts."
Cases within the jurisdiction of the district court involve families, juveniles, small claims, landlord tenant matters, minor crimes and violations and civil cases in which the disputed amount does not exceed $25,000.
The legislature, in establishing the district court locations, believed that these kinds of matters should be handled at the local level so that court staff, police departments, social service workers and members of the community can work closely with each other to help the parties involved reach a fair and effective resolution of their case. |
