How does mediation work in Hillsborough County?
State law splits Hillsborough County's Superior Court into two judicial districts: RSA 496:1 has the court sit in Manchester for the northern district and in Nashua for the southern district [1]. For the Circuit Court, with its probate, district and family divisions, Hillsborough is the ninth circuit [2]. Statewide, the Judicial Branch's Office of Mediation and Arbitration supports ADR programs in all courts and can facilitate voluntary pre-suit mediation [3]. The mediators listed below, in Manchester, Nashua and Amherst, belong to the federal District of New Hampshire's Mediation Panel [5]. That court's ADR program has run since 1999 under Local Rule 53.1, and parties choose a panel mediator at the mediator's published market rate [4].
