New York State Notary Event to be Held in Auburn
March 4th is a rare public workshop for notaries. The event will be held at Cayuga Community College in Auburn New York.
Noted speaker Alfred E. Piombino will be leading the session, which will last from 9am to 1pm. Parking for the event is free and there is public transportation at the college.
The class itself is $125. That includes study material. This consists of two books, Notary Public Register and Recordkeeping Protocols, as well as Notary Public Handbook: A Guide for New York.
Attendance at this seminar is a must for every prospective Notary Public to properly prepare for the serious legal authority, duties and myriad responsibilities of holding this public officer appointment,” said Alfred E. Piombino, the course pioneer and faculty.
“Simply taking and passing the 40-question examination, implemented in 1950 by New York Secretary of State Thomas J. Curran, is a good start, but it’s not sufficient preparation by itself to fully understand and execute all the required duties,” said Piombino.
The renowned course taught by Piombino will provide far-reaching reviews of the duties and responsibilities of New York Notary Public. It also will teach official state law examination preparation.
“First appointed as a New York Notary Public in 1981, I easily passed the state law examination because I was a business school student, but I really didn’t fully understand the scope and depth of my duty which inspired my further legal research,” he adds.
“This frustration with a lack of accurate, adequate resources sparked my sense of intellectual curiosity and was the catalyst of forty years of passion for dedicating myself to this niche, legal scholarship, researching, writing and teaching – to not only help other legal practitioners better protect themselves from legal liability, but also to protect the integrity of the civil and criminal court systems,” adds Piombino.
“Notarial legal ineptitude, intentional or unintentional, definitively leads to the insidious denigration of all courts, erodes public confidence and stymies good-faith efforts to effectively and fairly deliver justice to litigants, victims and defendants,” Piombino emphasized.
The New York Secretary of State conducts the testing portion. This is done through the Department of State. Four sample law exams and answer keys are given to each attendant to help facilitate learning.
Members of the Civil Service Employees Association union may submit a voucher to cover the cost of the training. The CSEA Tuition Benefit Voucher is available to reimburse union member state employees for the New York State Examination fee.
Space is limited. To find out more or sign up for the training event visit the Cayuga Community College website here Cayuga Community College Office of Community Education & Workforce Development Courses .
