About the role
OATH is seeking attorneys to serve as Judicial Hearing Officers (JHOs) in its Hearings Division and Appeals Division. JHOs are independent adjudicators who decide whether to sustain or dismiss civil summonses filed by NYC enforcement agencies against members of the public (individuals, businesses, etc.). Each day, JHOs conduct multiple hearings, review evidence, assess legal arguments, and issue written decisions.
JHOs are responsible for maintaining procedures to ensure that cases are heard, and decisions rendered in a timely manner, while knowledgably and accurately conveying agency policy to the public. The ideal candidate is an ambitious, energetic and experienced attorney who enjoys the growth opportunities afforded by OATH's ongoing commitment to positive institutional change, technological enhancement, and maximizing the public's access to justice. JHOs must have the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and work effectively within tight deadlines.
JHOs are scheduled on the needs of the agency and may work up to 1,000 hours per year at the hourly rate noted above. JHOs may maintain outside employment. JHOs work off-site, using their own computer and telephone. If assigned to the Hearings Division, JHOs will be conducting hearings remotely by phone. If assigned to the Appeals Division, JHOs will be reviewing written appeal requests and writing appeal decisions.
