WELCOME TO JURY SERVICE
A letter from Chief Justice Robert Lynn:
Dear Juror:
I am pleased to welcome you to your service as a juror in the New Hampshire Superior Court system and trust that you will find this experience both rewarding and interesting.
As a citizen of New Hampshire, you have certain rights and responsibilities including the duty imposed by both the Constitution of the United States and the State of New Hampshire to serve as a partner in the administration of justice. This is an awesome responsibility and a vital public service which you should assume with pride.
While we all recognize that jury service places a significant burden on you by interrupting your personal and business lives and imposing substantial financial hardship on some, it also represents a unique privilege we have as citizens. Jury service not only represents a responsibility but also a unique opportunity to participate in the justice system, to learn firsthand how it works, and to help us make it work better.
The information contained on this website will provide
you with important details about your jury service.
You should review it carefully. If you have any
questions, court personnel will be pleased to answer them.
You may be assured that the judges and court staff will make certain you are not inconvenienced any more than necessary consistent with your duties as jurors. On behalf of the judges and staff at the Superior Court, thank you for your commitment and effort in representing the citizens of New Hampshire.
Robert J. Lynn, Chief Justice
Superior Court
