The City of New York’s Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) is the nation’s largest administrative tribunal, holding approximately 400,000 trials and hearings a year. As the City’s central, independent administrative law court, OATH adjudicates a wide range of matters filed by nearly every city agency, board and commission. OATH also houses the Center for Creative Conflict Resolution which provides mediation and restorative justice support to City government agencies and the general public, and the Administrative Judicial Institute, a resource center that provides training, continuing education, research and support services for administrative law judges and hearing officers. Most recently, OATH was assigned to adjudicate impartial special education due process hearings at which parents can either challenge a Department of Education (DOE) decision relating to the adequacy of the special education services offered to their child or seek tuition reimbursement for the costs of a private education that provides their child with necessary services.
