relative to judicial privilege and relative to the litigation of small claims.

Summary

The proposal would require any New Hampshire judge who knows material facts about a criminal case to testify, eliminating the ability to claim judicial privilege. It also mandates that small‑claims courts send a written notice to defendants by first‑class mail within ten days of filing, giving them 30 days to request a hearing. The changes aim to increase transparency in criminal proceedings and ensure timely notice in small‑claims disputes.
