NH e-COURT PROJECT MISSION STATEMENT

To develop an end-to-end electronic court case processing system in a digital environment, eliminating paper processes and decreasing case processing time, while increasing information management efficiency, accuracy, and constituent service through leveraged uniform work processes.

NH e-COURT PROJECT VISION

Electronic filing lets people get more of their work done with their PCs, to send and receive documents, pay filing fees, notify other parties, receive court notices, and retrieve court information." New Hampshire e-court extends beyond this e-file definition to e-document management, e-document storage all aspects of the case processing cycle into electronic processes as defined below.
