	Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings
		OATH was made a Charter agency in 1988, as part of the Charter revisions which enacted the City Administrative Procedure Act (CAPA).
		OATH’s procedures relax the technical rules of evidence and procedure that would apply in court proceedings, but nonetheless, administrative law judges wear judicial robes while presiding over OATH trials with the same decorum and formality as is found in courts.
		OATH proceedings are governed by rules of practice published in title 48 of the Rules of the City of New York (RCNY).

		The Five Charter Oath was finalized by Kido Takayoshi of Choshu and, as a sign of his approval, signed by the young Emperor Meiji in 1868.
