We have been advertising in the NH Bar News since 2006. This is the only advertising we do. For a reasonable price we have been able to remind our colleagues of the type of work we do. Other lawyers frequently mention seeing our ads in the Bar News, and we attribute many of our referrals to that advertising.”

“Testimonials

I have found advertising in Bar News to be a great way to let all my fellow Bar members know the type of work I do, and my willingness to work with them on cases. I would strongly advise using the Bar News to reach fellow lawyers both here in New Hampshire and throughout the region.”

A decade after the Great Reces-sion created a wave of “too big to fail” bank bailouts, a documentary about a family-run bank that was “small enough to jail” has put the spotlight back on the country’s financial and justice systems. An exclusive screen-ing of “Abacus: Small Enough to Jail” and panel discussion on Friday, June 29 will be one of the highlights of the NH Bar Association’s upcoming An-nual Meeting in Woodstock, Vermont. The Academy Award-nominat-ed documentary tells the saga of the Sung family, beginning with patriarch Thomas Sung, who immigrated from Shanghai, China, and settled in New York City’s Chinatown. After working for many years as an immigration law-yer, he helped found Abacus Federal Savings Bank in 1984. The small bank became a cornerstone of the commu-nity by serving immigrants and Asian American clients who couldn’t otherwise access capital. But after report-ing a rogue employee following the subprime mortgage crisis, the tide turned: in 2012, Manhattan District Attor-ney Cyrus Vance, Jr. announced a 184-count indictment

Exeter Attorney Terrie Har-man spends most of her days helping clients with such battles as foreclosure avoidance and bankruptcy litigation – “the lit-tle guy against the big guy,” she says. But she also spends several hours a day indulging a passion which, on the surface, seems to-tally unrelated: practicing the organ. This professional lawyer is also a professional or-

ganist who has concertized on the historic Kotzschmar pipe organ at City Hall in Portland, Maine. Last No-vember, Harman even played at a church in Cape Town, South Africa, winning compliments from no less than Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his wife, who were in the audience. “It was a lifetime achievement, a phenomenal expe-rience,” she says of the visit. Harman grew up in north central Pennsylvania and attended Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylva-nia with a double major in piano performance and Eng-lish literature. She was prepared to pursue an advanced degree in music when her father told her he would pay

An unprecedented bail reform measure may be inch-ing closer to the governor’s desk after a Senate bill re-cently cleared the New Hampshire House of Representa-tives on a voice vote. However, law enforcement officials still have public safety concerns and are advocating for changes before it becomes law. Senate Bill 556, also known as the Criminal Justice Reform and Economic Fairness Act of 2018, revises the procedures for the granting of bail, amends the procedure for annulment of violations and class B misdemeanors depending on the date of conviction, and amends the re-quirements for demonstrating indigency for the purpose of annulment of a criminal record. The bill passed both the House and the Senate with some technical amendments to the annulment process, recommended by the court system. But with disagree-ment over the House’s amendments to the bill and a last-minute change in support from the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police, the measure moved to a committee of conference to iron out the details. Both sides were negotiating over a tentative agreement as of press time. NH Senator Dan Feltes (D-Concord), who is a for-mer NH Legal Assistance attorney and one of the spon-sors of the bill, describes the bipartisan bill as common-sense bail reform. “[T]the major problem right now is folks being im-prisoned pending their trial simply by virtue of their in-come and nothing intentional in the system or in the pro-cessing of defendants,” Feltes said. “But this [bill] would require an actual decision that the bail that you are setting — the monetary bail that you are setting — not result in people being in prison solely by virtue of their income. … [as long as] they have been determined not to be a danger to themselves or others.” In determining an individual’s circumstances, the bill also directs judges to consider whether the defendant is the main source of income for his or her household or the primary guardian of young children, who may end up in the custody of DCYF if the defendant is jailed. Additionally, in weighing whether an individual is a danger to themselves or others, judges wouldn’t be able to base the decision solely on the defendant’s drug use or

intellectual property law is stronger than ever — the school has been ranked annually in the top 10 law schools for intellectual property nationwide by “U.S. News & World Report” for nearly three decades. And, as Carpenter shared, UNH Law achieved the single biggest rise among the top 100 schools this year. UNH Law is now ranked number 85 on the “Best Law Schools” list — 57 positions higher than six years ago. Carpenter was equally proud of the school’s ser-vice to the state’s justice system and its role as an “economic engine” within the greater Concord com-munity — which she now proudly calls home — as

Bar’s Legislative Advocacy in Review

By Anna Berry

As she took the reins of the University of New Hampshire School of Law last summer, Megan Car-penter described the school as the “gold standard” for legal education. Now, a year after she was named as the first female dean of the state’s only law school, she was even more enthusiastic about the school’s reputation and results when she sat down with NH Bar News for an interview. Founded in 1973 as the independent Franklin Pierce Law Center, the school became affiliated with UNH in 2010. Despite the national downturn in law school admissions over the past decade and increasing competition among schools in the Northeast, UNH Law’s reputation as a global leader for the study of

Whether arguing on behalf of a client or maneuver-ing his mountain bike over the hills on Elm Brook Trail, Nicholas K. Holmes likes to think several moves ahead. A member of Devine Millimet’s construction prac-tice group and vice president of the Central New Hamp-shire Chapter of the Northeast Mountain Biking Associa-tion, Holmes has a diverse background in both law and outdoor recreation. “You’re constantly adjusting; you’re constantly mak-ing judgments; your mind is always engaged,” he says of his time behind the handlebars — though he could just as easily be talking about his legal work. Holmes, who grew up in Wisconsin and upstate New York, is now a Dunbarton resident. He became interest-ed in the law as an undergraduate at Cornell University

when, “on a whim,” he took a po-sition as an intern at a public de-fender program in the District of Columbia. The “culturally stunning” experience found him in such un-usual situations as hanging around for hours at a pool hall known to be frequented by a key witness in a case — and blowing away his competitors at the table — before winning sufficient confidence from

the crowd that they produced the witness for him to inter-view. “I became intrigued by the interplay between cre-

After legislation crossed over between the New Hampshire House and Senate last month, 11 of the 65 bills reviewed by the NH Bar Association’s legislation committee were still pending in the legislature as of early April and awaiting hearings or votes. The committee and the Bar’s board of governors originally recommended opposition to nine bills, and only one crossed over at the midway point in the session. HB 1295, opposed by the Bar, declares that “no person shall be in incarcerated for civil contempt without there being a finding that the person has the liquid assets to sat-isfy the contempt penalty” and pertains to family division circuit court. In the 1986 Chapman decision, the NH Supreme Court set specific limits on the association’s legislative activities. Chapman limits the Bar’s advocacy on leg-islation to issues relating to the efficient administration of the judicial system, the composition and operation of the courts, and the “education, ethics, competence, integ-rity and regulation, as a body, of the legal profession.”

The New Hampshire Executive Council unanimously approved Salem attorney Patrick E. Donovan last week as the 109th Associate Justice of the NH Supreme Court. Seats on the state’s highest court were reshuffled fol-lowing Chief Justice Linda S. Da-lianis’ retirement on April 1. New Chief Justice Robert J. Lynn was sworn-in on April 9 and the four-member Supreme Court was sched-uled to start hearing oral arguments only a few days later. Donovan, 53, would be the youngest justice on the bench and is currently partner and owner of the Law Office of Patrick E. Donovan, PLLC. He pledged to wrap up his practice by May 1 if confirmed. “I applied for this position because I know I can do this job and I can do it well, although I may not seem to be what some people might consider a typical Supreme Court nomi-

New Chief Justice to Lead Court in April

By Melanie Plenda

The abrupt termination of a program that allowed doz-ens of New Hampshire-based Indonesian Christian immi-grants to stay in the country is at the heart of a case wend-ing its way through federal court. Last September, the Trump administration ended all deferred action immigration programs including one that protected the Indonesian Christian population living pri-marily in the Seacoast region. As a result, approximately 70 adults and 100 of their children were told they had 60 days to leave the country. However, a volunteer group of attorneys from New Hampshire and Massachusetts filed suit in federal court asking a judge for injunctive relief allowing the Indone-sians to reopen their cases seeking asylum against the tor-ture and persecution they might face if they were deported

From the Holocaust to bowling leagues, the 2018 Midyear Meeting examined democracy and community from the past to the present. More than 600 members of the bench and bar gath-ered February 16 in Manchester for a full day of continuing legal education seminars about “Democracy Under Fire,” along with annual award presentations, the Gender Equali-ty Breakfast, and a brief business meeting (see related story on page 20). NH Bar Association President Scott Harris opened the program by referencing the deluge of news reports about Russia’s influence on U.S. elections and politics. “Is our democracy really that weak?” he asked. The meeting’s first CLE program compelled attendees to consider that question by traveling back to Nazi Germa-ny and examining the role of the judiciary in the destruc-tion of democracy. Presenters Ann O’Rourke and Dr. William Meinecke Jr., of the United States Holocaust Museum, noted that the National Socialist (Nazi) party never received more than 38 percent of the vote in free and open elections and ini-tially planned to follow the constitution in order to destroy it. As the museum’s materials explained: “In reality, judges were among those inside Germany who might have effectively challenged Hitler’s authority, the legitimacy of the Nazi regime, and the hundreds of laws that restricted political freedoms, civil rights, and guarantees of property and security. And yet the overwhelming majority did not.” Participants evaluated cases from the time related to contract and family law, including a ruling of the State Su-perior Court in Berlin on the termination of a contract of employment with a Jewish film director, “in light of the

development of current political circumstances.” O’Rourke described the nullification of contracts as “the beginning of the legal death of Jews in Germany.” Were judges following the law or playing politics? “I think the court was not acting as a moral compass,” attorney Lawrence Vogelman said during the discussion. The session ended with the audience sharing ideas about what lawyers and judges could “do in the court right now” to ensure that the kinds of failures that led to the Ho-

For attorney Katherine “Kate” Morneau, managing a family law practice in Nashua and maneuvering the slopes on ski patrol at Bretton Woods have one thing in common: helping people. Whether it’s tending to a skier with an injured knee or representing someone in the throes of a difficult divorce, Morneau says she gets satisfaction from facilitating best-possible solutions. “Helping good people through tough times” is the slogan for her Temple Street law firm, now four attorneys strong. A Littleton native, Morneau remembers being in kindergarten when an assignment called for her and her classmates to make handprints and specify what they wanted to be when they grew up. “There was an astronaut and a mother and I had ‘law-

yer,’” she says. “Where that came from, I don’t know.” The aspiration stayed with her and in high school she had an opportunity to go to Washing-ton, D.C., for a Young Lawyers of America conference where she and other teens from around the country toured the Supreme Court. “I remember standing in front of the Supreme Court and think-ing, ‘for someone from northern

New Hampshire to do something like this, it’s pretty awe-some,’” she says. She went on to attend Franklin Pierce University
