N.H. R. Sup. Ct. 7
For a supreme court case governed by these rules, the official court record of docket entries and documents, whether filed electronically or conventionally, shall be the electronic case file maintained by the clerk of court in the supreme court's case management system. Accordingly, the clerk in such a case will scan or otherwise convert a conventionally filed document into an electronic document for entry in the court's electronic case file, unless the nature of the conventionally filed document (such as a physical exhibit) makes it technologically infeasible to do so. The clerk need not maintain or retain any conventionally filed document after the clerk scans or otherwise converts that document into an electronic document for entry in the court's electronic case file. If the nature of a conventionally filed document makes it technologically infeasible to scan or otherwise convert the document into an electronic document for entry in the court's electronic case file, the document as conventionally filed shall be part of the court's official record and shall be maintained in its conventionally filed format.
In accordance with Supreme Court Rule 12(1)(a), the public may inspect nonconfidential cases governed by these rules and nonconfidential documents in an electronic format at the clerk's office during regular business hours, except that a nonconfidential document that is maintained in its conventionally filed format shall be made available for inspection in its conventionally filed format. Following issuance of the mandate or the close of the supreme court case, however, any documents that are part of the trial court or administrative agency record and were conventionally filed by the trial court or administrative agency, including records transmitted pursuant to Supreme Court Rules 10(3) and 14(2), may be returned by the clerk to the trial court or administrative agency.
