Program includes:

  • Constitutional Rights: The NH and U.S. constitutions guarantee right of access to governmental proceedings, including the courts. A reminder of why our founders enshrined these rights, where to find that language in the state and federal constitutions and how those words guide and empower us today.
    Attorneys Jeremy Eggleton and Katy Sullivan. 
     
  • Right to Access governmental proceedings: Governmental proceedings are presumed to be open to the public with a few limited exceptions. What are those exceptions and what to do if you believe an illegal meeting is/has taken place. 
    Attorneys Greg and Katy Sullivan. 
  • Right to Know: How to write an effective Right to Know request and how to challenge an unreasonable RTK request denial. 
    ACLU-NH attorney Gilles Bissonnette and NH Bulletin reporter Annmarie Timmons.
     
  • Meet: NH’s RTK Ombudsman Thomas Kehr
  • Important recent NH Supreme Court decisions: Several recent NH supreme court cases have greatly improved access for journalists and the public to police personnel records. Here’s what you should know. 
    Gilles Bissonnette.  
  • RTK legislation of interest: Annmarie Timmons
