"NYC Law Department touts 2025 progress in public safety, federal overreach fight In the waning days of Mayor Eric Adams' administration, the New York City Law Department took a victory lap highlighting its work in the last year of Adams' term one that saw the mayor himself let off the hook on federal charges in a deal with the Trump administration."
In 2025, New York City's district attorneys set aside differences to roll back discovery reform amid a backdrop of fewer shootings than four years earlier. DAs continued balancing constituent calls for progressive change with mandates to fight violent crime. The New York City Law Department highlighted public safety progress and contested federal overreach, noting a resolution that removed federal charges against the mayor. County clerks maintained essential court functions, enabling jury trials and enforcing supreme court verdicts despite low public visibility. High-profile cases, including Luigi Mangione and the Alexander brothers, drew borough attention. Right-to-counsel issues and Board of Correction minimum standards remained pressing legal matters.
