Before starting his position as the Chief Justice of the Superior Courts in New Hampshire, Judge Howard had been a lawyer in the Granite State for 36 years. Born and raised in Cornish, he graduated from UNH in 1984 and the former Franklin Pierce Law Center in 1987. He handled civil litigation issues for Merrill & Broderick in Manchester and then went to the U.S. Attorney’s Office where he focused on violent crime and narcotics prosecution before going into private practice. In 2015 he was nominated by then-Gov. Maggie Hassan to the Superior Court and served for eight years, with the last three serving as supervisory justice. He served as a full-time judge in the Drug Treatment Court in Strafford County.
