NHACDL is the local affiliate of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and shares its mission to ensure due process and fairness in the administration of the criminal justice system. NHACDL takes public positions with respect to important cases before the courts and on proposed legislation that affects fairness and due process in the administration of criminal justice. Taking a unique approach for a professional association, NHACDL’s positions are meant to assist and protect New Hampshire’s citizens, not necessarily the Association’s members.
