N.H. R. Ev. 102
Purpose and Construction
These rules should be construed so as to administer every proceeding fairly, eliminate unjustifiable expense and delay, and promote the development of evidence law, to the end of ascertaining the truth and securing a just determination. While decisions of federal courts involving the Federal Rules of Evidence may be helpful in analyzing problems and issues that arise under these rules, the New Hampshire Supreme Court shall be the final interpreter of these rules.
History

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
