General/Miscellaneous - Rules of Evidence - Rule 100. Adoption and Effective Date; Effect Upon Common Law

Pursuant to Part II, Article 73-A of the New Hampshire Constitution the Supreme Court unanimously adopts these rules of evidence. These rules shall govern all cases the trial of which commences on or after July 1, 1985, and shall be effective to the extent they are not inconsistent with statutory law in effect on that date, provided, that upon any later legislative repeal of such inconsistent statutes the appropriate rules shall then become effective. To the extent these rules alter or conflict with the common law, the rules shall govern. 2016 NHRE Update Committee Note No change was made to New Hampshire Rule of Evidence 100 because the rule is a New Hampshire specific rule on adoption of the New Hampshire rules and is still germane.
