Francis J. Frasier Justice Francis J. Frasier of the Hampton District Court was installed as president of the New Hampshire District and Municipal Court Judges Association at the organization's Annual Meeting, June 18 at the Fox Ridge kesort in North Conway. The presiding judge of the Hampton District During May and June, 1986, both the Bar's Committee on Cooperation with the Depart- ment of Labor and the Mental and Physical Disabilities Law Committee voted to become Bar Association sections. The two committees are seeking the change to sections to afford all Bar members inter- ested in these substantive areas of law greater opportunities for professional education and exchange of information. According to the Bar Association Bylaws, sections are expected to be devoted to the improvement of the professional knowledge and skill of the members thereof in particular fields of law .... I'm pleased that committees specializing in substantive areas of the law can survive as sections and promote the interest and continu- ing participation of members of the Bar, said Lar Association President L. Jonathan Ross. Upon written petition of 30 or more active members of the Bar, the Board of Governors will consider creation of additional substantive law sections. Court since 1980, Justice Frasier was formerly in the Exeter law firm of Shute, Engel and Frasier. A past treasurer of the District and Municipal Court Judges Association, Justice Frasier previously chaired the Association's continuing education committee. He has taught a New Hampshire Practice course at Suffolk University Law School and served as a faculty member on the December 1985 Bar Association CLE program, New Hampshire District Court Practice. Justice Frasier is a former member of the Bar's Publications Committee. A 1965 graduate of Boston College Law School, he was admitted to the New Hampshire Bar the same year. He received a B.A. from the University of New Hampshire in 1960. Justice Frasier lives with his wife Joyce and their children John, Heather, Christopher, Hilary and Courtney in Stratham. Committee on Cooperation With the Department of Labor In planning the conversion to a section, the Committee on Cooperation with the Depart- ment of Labor has outlined a number of goals including providing continuing legal education focusing on workers' compensation issues. A significant section activity would involve assist- ing the Department of Labor, when requested, with the formulation of rules, policies and procedures. As well as offering a forum for the exchange of information about workers' compensation matters, the proposed section lists the publica- tion of a newsletter as a possible undertaking. Periodic meetings will be held to facilitate these activities. Mental and Physical Disabilities Law Committee As stated in its proposed bylaws, the goal of Sections page 2 Daniel W.
