MANUAL FOR LAW JUDGES AND HEARING OFFICERS UPDATED

An updated Manual for Administrative Law Judges and Hearing Officers has been recently posted at the NYS Civil Service Web site. The updating project was funded by the Professional Development Committee as a Work Force Initiative utilizing funding provided under Article 15 of the NYS/PEF collective bargaining agreement. The project was commenced under the 1995-1999 agreement and completed under the 1999-2003 agreement. This project was a cooperative undertaking by PEF, GOER, the Department of Civil Service, the Rockefeller College of the State University of New York, and the Government Law Center of Albany Law School. Check out the manual on-line at: http://www.cs.state.ny.us/pio/hearingofficermanual/tochearingofficer.htm

Print copies are also available by contacting the Department of Civil Service's Public Information Office at 518-457-9451 or by e-mailing requests to PIO@cs.state.ny.us.
