The United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire has entered new Standing Orders regarding court operations (20-25), as well as procedures governing any in-court hearings (20-27) and out-of-court videoconference and telephonic hearings (20-7). The Rudman Courthouse will remain closed to the public except on days when the court conducts in-court hearings, and the clerk’s office remains closed to the public until further notice.

Please note that even when the Rudman Courthouse is physically closed to the public, the judges and court staff are working full-time on the cases pending before this court. All court employees will telework, process court filings, issue orders and judgments, schedule hearings and conferences, and be available to answer telephone calls and emails from the public and bar.
