Re: Classification Review for Nonjudicial Employees
Date: February 1, 2023
We are continuing our comprehensive review of the Unified Court System's Classification Plan
for Nonjudicial Employees. We are writing to advise you of these modifications and the implementation
of the changes.
In furtherance of the changes previously made in the Legal Series five years ago, the Classification
Plan with regard to the Court Attorney and Court Attorney (Trial Part) Series will be modified, effective
February 2, 2023, as follows:
TITLE COURT ASSIGNMENT
Court Attorney (JG-23) Supreme, County, Surrogate's, Court of Claims,
Family
Senior Court Attorney (JG-26) Supreme, County, Surrogate's, Court of Claims,
Family
Associate Court Attorney (JG-30) Supreme, County,Surrogate's, Court of Claims,
Family
Court Attorney (Trial Part) (JG-23) District, NYC Criminal, NYC Civil, City Courts with (2)
or more full-time judges
Senior Court Attorney (Trial Part) (JG-25) District, NYC Criminal, NYC Civil, City Courts with (2)
or more full-time judges
Associate Court Attorney (Trial Part) (JG-29) District, NYC Criminal, NYC Civil, City Courts with (2)
or more full-time judges
The above reflects a change in the Court Attorney Series to eliminate the population requirement,
i.e., populations exceeding 400,000, and specifically designate such titles in the Family Courts.
Accordingly, attorneys assigned to the Family, County and Surrogate's Courts will no longer be placed in
the Court Attorney (Trial Part) Series.

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 30 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 08/07/2023
As a result of these modifications, incumbent employees currently assigned to the Family Courts,
County Courts, Surrogate Courts and Multi-Bench Courts will be reallocated, effective February 2, 2023,
as follows:
Current Title Reallocated Title
Senior Court Attorney (Trial Part) (JG-25) Senior Court Attorney (JG-26)
Associate Court Attorney (Trial Part) (JG-29) Associate Court Attorney (JG-30)
Employees in your Court or District that will be reallocated pursuant to these changes will receive
written notice directly from the Division of Human Resources shortly. This reallocation will have no impact
on any employee's current Jurisdictional Class or appointment status, nor does it change any existing
eligibility they may have to receive a Longevity increment or Longevity Payment.
Please note that the overall UCS Classification Plan, including reallocation and reclassifications of
titles, and changes to the Title standards to align with the current job duties more closely for nonjudicial
employees is a continuous process.
We will continue to keep you abreast of further changes.
