Legal Affairs

Ensuring that City government administers the law fairly - assisting citizens in seeking their legal rights.


Legal Affairs covers the City agencies that represent government in legal matters, that ensure government's compliance with the law and with standards of integrity, and that provide citizens with mechanisms for seeking redress where individual rights may have been violated.

The City is mandated to oversee and maintain the integrity of its agencies, workers and contractors; enforce the City's Human Rights Law; investigate and resolve claims of police misconduct in a timely and efficient way; effectively represent City government in litigation and other legal matters; adjudicate administrative matters with fairness and efficiency.
