I found this interesting, and potentially valuable. I didn't know this existed.


The Judge Will Hear Your 223,000 Excuses Now
Tales from the tiny offices where New Yorkers go to fight summonses for everything from unshoveled
sidewalks to underheated hot dogs


OATH (Office of Administrative Trial and Hearings) was created in 1979 to provide an independent alternative to internal agency tribunals that tried their own cases and were often criticized as biased. Initially, only more complex trials were heard at OATH. But over the last 10 years, more and more agencies’ routine charges were transferred to its jurisdiction.

And note this:

Your odds of beating a ticket at an OATH hearing are not bad: 44 percent of the 223,000 summonses that were contested last year got dismissed, up from 39 percent the year before.
