NH has ~24 Justices statewide who rotate assignments among the 10 county branches under a unified bench (RSA § 491), so any given trial day's working bench may differ from this count. Hillsborough County uniquely operates two branches (Manchester / North and Nashua / South). Vintage 2026 courts.nh.gov roster.)
