Methodology: Data on New Hampshire judges is recent as of February 18, 2022 and was compiled and cross referenced from various sources, as there is no complete list of appointed New Hampshire judges by race, ethnicity, and gender for each year dating back to 1997. Race, ethnicity, and gender was found using The American Bench and, in the case where it was not listed, efforts were made by the researchers to determine this information using publicly available sources.
