Dear BAEC Members,
Hon. Christopher Burns has applied to be designated as Judicial Hearing Officer in the Fourth Judicial Department. See letter here. The Rules of the Chief Administrator provide for the evaluation of every applicant by the Fourth Department Selection Advisory Committee prior to the initial designation as Judicial Hearing Officer. The criteria for evaluating candidates for the Judicial Hearings designations are set forth in the 22 NYCRR Part 122.2(f). These criteria include competence, work ethic, experience and judicial temperament. We are soliciting comments which should be provided to skohlbacher@eriebar.org by June 26, 2024 so that we meet the deadline. Thank you.
