New Hampshire State House Tour

March 27
9:00 a.m.
Concord, NH

This tour offered to new lawyers in their first five years of practice in NH will go around the state house. At 10 a.m. the group will go to the Senate to watch the opening of session, and afterwards the group will have the opportunity to watch some debates in the House. There is no cost to attend, but please register in advance to reserve your spot.

To me, this event was both educational and rewarding. As I was recently admitted to the bar, my interaction with judges is minimal and generally quite stressful. Being able to have a conversation with the judge about his life and career as well as my developing career was invaluable. It increased my comfort level in court as it reminded me judges are people, too. This is a rare opportunity to familiarize yourself with the judges across New Hampshire and listen to any career advice they may have. I would recommend any new lawyer attend future events whether their practice takes them into the courtroom or not.”
