liability

The Academy for Good Governance is a series of seven courses created by the NH Municipal Association (NHMA) and Primex, exclusively for elected governing body members (select board, town council, city council, board of aldermen, school board, and village district commissioners).  Courses are taught by experienced attorneys and staff from NHMA, Primex, HealthTrust, and the New Hampshire School Boards Association (NHSBA).  Attendees will receive education and training intended to make them more knowledgeable and effective in their governing body roles.

Although municipal officials and the cities and towns that employ them are frequently the targets of civil lawsuits, there are several legal defenses under New Hampshire and federal law that may protect them from liability.

Join Primex General Counsel Mike Ricker and NHMA Government Affairs Counsel Natch Greyes who will discuss these legislative and judicially recognized protections for municipal employees and officials including police, fire, and EMTs, and other limitations on municipal liability.
