Norman Goodman (December 30, 1923 – January 24, 2019) was an American municipal official. He served as the county clerk of New York County, coextensive with the borough of Manhattan, New York City, from 1969 to 2014.[1][3]
Goodman was a lawyer for seventeen years.[1] In 1965, he was appointed the county's deputy clerk.[1] In 1969, he was appointed county clerk by the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court.[1] As of March 2009, Goodman had held the position during seven different New York governors and, although not a city government official, during six different New York City mayors.[4] As commissioner of jurors, Goodman sent out more than 11 million jury summonses; with his signature and title appearing at the top of each summons, Goodman once quipped that he had "the most notorious signature in New York".[1] He retired in December 2014, and was succeeded by Milton Tingling.[5]
