District Court

Welcome from the Administrative Judge of the District Courts

To our citizens:
     The District Court System handles matters that are closest to home--family disputes, juvenile issues, child custody, traffic cases and landlord tenant claims, among many others. We understand that no matter what the subject of a dispute, and how familiar it may be to you, the experience of coming to court to try to resolve your case can be confusing and even intimidating.  We hope that on these Web pages, we have provided information that will help make your experience with the court go as smoothly as possible. If you have questions or concerns about court process, you are encouraged to call or stop by the courthouse to speak with the clerk or a member of the staff.

    While our staff cannot provide legal advice, they can often assist you in finding answers to questions they cannot address themselves.                      

   As you use this Web page or any district court in New Hampshire, if you have suggestions for change, please let us know.
