New Hampshire Exhibit FAQs
How do I e-file exhibits in New Hampshire courts?
New Hampshire uses NH E-Filing powered by Tyler Technologies for all 10 counties. You must register for e-filing access at courts.nh.gov before filing. Exhibits must be in PDF format; file-size caps change, so confirm the current limit in the portal before filing. The NH E-Filing system is standardized across all New Hampshire Superior Courts.
What are New Hampshire's exhibit exchange deadlines?
New Hampshire exhibit exchange deadlines are set by the court's scheduling or trial management order under N.H. Super. Ct. Civ. R. 35 (Trial Management Conference), not by a statewide fixed deadline. Pretrial Statements are due 14 days before the Trial Management Conference, which is held within 14 days before jury selection. Missing court-ordered deadlines can result in exhibits being excluded from trial.
What exhibit marking system does New Hampshire require?
New Hampshire courts commonly use the P/D prefix system: plaintiffs mark exhibits as P-1, P-2, P-3, while defendants use D-1, D-2, D-3. Exhibit lists are produced through the Pretrial Statement required by N.H. Super. Ct. Civ. R. 35 (Trial Management Conference). Exhibits should be marked before the exchange deadline specified in your scheduling order and listed in your Pretrial Statement.
What must be included in a New Hampshire pre-trial statement?
N.H. Super. Ct. Civ. R. 35 governs the Trial Management Conference and the Pretrial Statements that produce the exhibit list. The list should include exhibit numbers and brief descriptions. Pretrial Statements are filed 14 days before the Trial Management Conference, and that conference is held within 14 days before jury selection — note the clock runs to the conference, not to trial. The court uses Pretrial Statements to manage trial time and resolve evidentiary issues before trial.
Are there special considerations for Hillsborough County cases?
Yes. Hillsborough County (Manchester/Nashua) is New Hampshire's largest county, handling the highest caseload in the state. Hillsborough County has two Superior Court locations (Manchester and Nashua) that may have different local procedures. The high case volume means scheduling orders are strictly enforced. Check Hillsborough County local rules in addition to statewide Super. Ct. Civ. R. requirements.
