OATH Administrative Law Judge Seon Jeong Lee recommended termination of employment for a correction officer who, during an escort of a rear-cuffed detainee on a transportation bus, pushed the detainee with such force into a small holding pen that her face hit the metal grate on the window, causing serious facial injury.

Contract Dispute Resolution Board Panelists sought

OATH is accepting applications from qualified persons to serve on Contract Dispute Resolution Board (CDRB) panels. 

CDRB panels hear the final appeal in a three-step dispute resolution process contained in City contracts for construction, goods and services. Each CDRB panel consists of an OATH Administrative Law Judge, as chair, a representative of the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services, and a third member selected from a pre-qualified roster of individuals, established and administered by OATH, who has appropriate expertise and is unaffiliated and not employed by the City.

Those interested in being added to the roster of pre-qualified individuals are encouraged to apply. 

Applicants should have a background and experience in government contracting, construction, engineering or related law. The application form, as well as more information on the panelist role, can be found here

Completed applications should be sent via e-mail to the OATH Trials Division Law Clerks, LawClerks@oath.nyc.gov.
