After an arrest

Who decides release first

Before arraignment, a bail commissioner sets bail. The Circuit Court appoints commissioners from justices of the peace, and they need not be lawyers. People charged with serious violent crimes are held for a judge within 36 hours, and the police can't set bail.

RSA ch. 597
Time to see a judge

A person arrested must appear before a Circuit or Superior Court judge within 36 hours, not counting weekends and holidays.
