N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 22 § 36.0

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 24, June 12, 2024
Section 36.0 - Preamble

Public trust in the judicial process demands that appointments by judges be fair, impartial and beyond reproach. Accordingly, these rules are intended to ensure that appointees are selected on the basis of merit, without favoritism, nepotism, politics or other factors unrelated to the qualifications of the appointee or the requirements of the case.

The rules cannot be written in a way that foresees every situation in which they should be applied. Therefore, the appointment of trained and competent persons, and the avoidance of factors unrelated to the merit of the appointments or the value of the work performed, are fundamental objectives that should guide all appointments made, and orders issued, pursuant to this Part.
