New pay increase for Family Court support magistrates announced
Briefly

"This change acknowledges the quasi-judicial nature of these positions and the unique role they play in our court system. Support magistrates are statutorily appointed to hear and determine Family Court proceedings and, like judges, handle their own caseloads, create their own part rules, and maintain their calendars."
"This increase in pay will help us attract qualified candidates to these positions, which are absolutely critical to addressing caseloads in these very busy forums."
"We both recognize and appreciate the essential, demanding nature of the support magistrate's role. Theirs is highly meaningful work that is so integral to the effective, efficient delivery of justice and the stability and safety of New York City's at-risk families and children."
"I invite eligible candidates with relevant legal experience and an interest in public service and the welfare of children and families to view the court system's careers page at the link below to learn more about these job openings in responding to our clarion call to fill this urgent need."
