Meet the Judges
A conversation
with Anthony Cannataro,
NYS Supreme Court
BY DEAN MOSES
Schneps Media is sitting down with
judges across the city’s court systems
to discuss their roles and how they’ve
changed in the age of COVID-19. This
week’s interview is with the Hon. Anthony
Cannataro, Citywide Administrative Judge
of the Civil Court of the City of New York
and Justice of the New York State Supreme
Court.
Schneps Media: Could you describe
your duties as an Administrative Judge?
Hon. Anthony Cannataro: I am the
Citywide Administrative Judge for the Civil
Court of the City of New York (one of the
three citywide courts along with Family
Court and Criminal Court). The Civil
Court operates in all fi ve borough and is
best known for our housing part (the court
that landlords go to when they seek to evict
their tenants and to litigate other housing
matters). That is an extremely high-volume
court, approximately 225,000 new cases
are fi led every year. The other well-known
operation of the Civil Court is the Small
Claims Court.
My job is to oversee the day-to-day
operations. I deal with budgets, with
problems like disciplinary issues, and attendance
issues as they come up. I also
deal with what we call access to justice,
which is the court’s effort to make these
high-volume cases fairer for people. Many
of the litigants who come here do not have
attorneys representing them. So, we must
go out of our way to make sure that the
process is as fair as it can be even for people
who don’t have attorneys.
SM: Have housing cases increased
because of the pandemic?
AC: Not necessarily. I would almost say
that the issue of representation has gotten a
little better because of the pandemic, which
is not to say that everything is great. Since
the pandemic began there has been a more
concerted movement, both within the court
and outside the court to try to get counsel
assigned for people who are facing eviction
and who don’t have lawyers.
SM: How has the position changed during
the pandemic?
AC: I fi nd myself communicating a lot
more with interest groups that represent
various litigants. For example, in the housing
sphere, there are many groups out
there who are concerned about evictions
Hon. Anthony Cannataro
happening during a pandemic and all the
problems that come along with litigating
those kinds of cases and possibly evicting
people as a result of those cases. I’m
now speaking a lot publicly and in smaller
groups with the various interest groups
about how the court can do its business
and still be mindful of the public health
and safety needs of the litigants who come
before us.
SM: Has there been a silver lining during
the pandemic?
AC: The pandemic has really driven us
into using technology to help us do what
we do. Whereas before the pandemic you
would hardly ever see virtual appearance or
conferencing with the court or among the
parties. We have moved forward aggressively
into using teleconferencing platforms
to do our work. There is a lot being done
with remote appearance.
SM: You began as a law clerk, what was
that like?
AC: That was my introduction to the
courts. I got a job clerking in the courts for
a very prestigious judge in the highest court
in New York. That sent me on a course for
the rest of my life. That is where I decided
that I wanted to become a judge. It took
me about 10 years to get it done, but I’m
so glad that I did it.
SM: Do you have advice for those starting
a career in law?
AC: My advice is that you must be open
to see where your career takes you. I would
have never expected to have a judiciary
career, but now that I have one, I couldn’t
imagine anything better than this.
