Law Department

The Department of Law is lead by the Corporation Counsel and handles all legal affairs for the City. This team provides legal advice and support to the Mayor, the Common Council, and various city departments and agencies. The Law Department also processes FOIL requests and claims made against the City.

As attorneys for the City, the Corporation Counsel is not able to provide legal advice or representation to constituents. Citizens seeking legal advice or representation can contact the Onondaga County Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service. However, the Law department does perform some services for the public.
