Some Famous People called Paul Siegfried

Paul Siegfried

Paul Siegfried (born 1948) is an American attorney based in New York City.

Siegfried is the former executive director of the Mayor's Advisory Committee on the Judiciary for Mayors Abraham Beame, Ed Koch, David Dinkins and Rudy Giuliani. Siegfried's role was to identify and recommend judicial candidates to serve as judges in New York City. The Politico, a political newspaper, reported in a piece about Giuliani's judicial appointments that Siegfried is a registered Democrat and could have been replaced by Giuliani. The Politico's Ben Smith wrote:

"Under Giuliani, the chairman was Paul Curran, a former Republican U.S. Attorney; its executive director was Paul Siegfried, a Democrat who had served in that position under other mayors and whose focus was qualifications, not ideology or judicial philosophy. Again, Giuliani could have replaced Siegfried, as Bloomberg did. He chose not to."
When Michael Bloomberg became Mayor of New York, Siegfried resigned to avoid being removed in Bloomberg's purge of staffers associated with Giuliani. In an article in the New York Law Journal, Paul Curran, the former head of the Mayor's Advisory Committee on the Judiciary, said of Bloomberg's decision to allow Siegfried to resign:
"It was a big mistake not to retain Paul Siegfried. ...(Siegfried has) done the job well for a long time, and had built up relations with judges, lawyers and prosecutors who would comment candidly on the qualifications of prospective judges and judges seeking reappointment."
