AJC Coordinator: David B. Goldin

Coordinator David B. Goldin

The City's administrative law tribunals decide hundreds of thousands of cases each year. The tribunals are many New Yorkers' most significant experience with the justice system. It is therefore critical that New York City residents are confident that their cases heard in City tribunals are decided fairly by well-trained, impartial administrative law judges and hearing officers. My office is dedicated to ensuring that every person who appears at a City tribunal is fully afforded the opportunity to be heard, whether or not that person is represented by an attorney or speaks English fluently.

This Web site details projects and initiatives my office has undertaken to support and improve the City's administrative law tribunals, as well as links to tribunal Web sites and contact information for this office. I am honored to be serving as the City's first Administrative Justice Coordinator, and am dedicated to helping our City's tribunals set a standard for administrative justice around the nation.
