Staff Turnover and Stability

In a three month period this year, 3 of 6 experienced Assistant District Attorneys resigned from the Cortland County District Attorney's office. One left last year, making 4 experienced Assistants lost in the past year in a half.

Three new Assistants have been hired recently, and all three have limited criminal law or trial experience.

MARK SUBEN WOULD promote stability in the District Attorney's Office by setting clear and common sense policies, communicating them to his Assistants, and letting them do their jobs as lawyers.

He would monitor the performance of his Assistants to be sure they were professional and competent. He would insist on professional and courteous communication with all defense attorneys, judges, court and police personnel, and witnesses - to promote efficient and fair resolution of cases.
