In October 2003, the Fund and Committee For Modern Courts opened an office in downtown Albany to manage the organization’s operations in the Capital District. The office is within walking distance of the State Capitol, the Legislative Office Building, the Court of Appeals, and the New York State Bar Association headquarters.

From this office, the Capital District Director acts as a legislative liaison on behalf of the Committee for Modern Courts, meeting with members of the State legislature, the Office of Court Administration, and other government representatives, and represents Modern Courts at hearings and other local public functions. The Director also plans and implements Citizen Court Monitoring projects for the Capital District from the Albany office, and organizes Modern Courts’ spring and fall Capital District public education forums.
