Ottinger v. State Civil Service Commission
New York Court of Appeals
Decided July 15, 1925PublishedCited by 59 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtCardozo, J.
The Attorney-General has appointed assistants and employees to aid in the enforcement of article 23-A of the General Business Law (Laws of 1921, chap. 649). He takes the ground that under section 359-a of the act, the persons so designated are exempt from the requirement of civil service examination. The State Civil Service Commission contests the validity of the exemption. The conflicting claims of right are brought before us by a proceeding for an order of mandamus directing the Commission to certify that the appointments have been made “ in pursuance of law ” (Civil Service Law, § 20).
