What is the difference between the New Hampshire Attorney General and the United States Attorney?
A. The New Hampshire Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer for violations of state law. The NH Attorney General’s office, in a civil context, represents the interests of the State of New Hampshire in lawsuits brought against it and enforces the laws of the State. In contrast, the United States Attorney’s Office has responsibility for the prosecution of federal crimes in the District of New Hampshire. The Civil Division prosecutes violation of civil laws, collects on defaulted federal loans, institutes forfeiture proceedings, and defends the United States’ interests in cases brought against it.
