Dalianis has recently been confirmed as the first woman Chief Justice of the supreme Court. And Justice Robert J. Lynn has been elevated to fill the seat left vacant on the supreme Court bench, leaving open the seat of Chief Justice for the new Hampshire superior Court.

in light of these significant changes in our judicial landscape, it is only fitting that this edition of the bar Journal begins with a tribute to former Chief Justice John T. Broderick. This tribute contains some of Justice Broderick's most memorable comments he has made through the years and underscores what makes Justice Broderick a truly remarkable justice and person.
