Gov. Lynch Statement Regarding The Resignation of Judge Coffey

Gov. John Lynch today received a letter of resignation from Superior Court Judge Patricia Coffey, who was recently suspended by the state Supreme Court for three years without pay.

"Judge Coffey's resignation was the right thing to do for the people of New Hampshire and the judiciary. To ensure the continued faith of the people in our judicial system, its judges must meet the highest standards of ethics and integrity, and follow the law at all times."
