Q&A

Nurse asks about legal technology consultant and case management

New York City Council · Oct 16, 2026 · starts 1:36:53 · 51 sec

Nurse asks for an update on the legal technology expert and case management consultant. Kamuf Ward says the legal technology director has onboarded and is working with the Office of Civil Rights Enforcement, but procurement is a long process.

Sandy Nurse

And then just back to the state comptroller.

Sandy Nurse

I believe you all reported to him that you hired a consultant for case management and data retrieval.

Sandy Nurse

I know we talked a little bit about this earlier on.

Sandy Nurse

There were plans to hire a legal technology expert.

Sandy Nurse

Can you give us an update on where we're at with that?

JoAnn Kamuf Ward

Yes, the legal technology director.

is my next door neighbor at work.

So he has been on boarded and is working largely with the Office of Civil Rights Enforcement, but really with all the teams in the agency

JoAnn Kamuf Ward

to make sure that any new system that we procure is, you know,

best in class for our needs.

But as you probably also know, procurement is a long-term game.

Sandy Nurse

It's a fun process.
