Stuart Rabner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stuart Rabner is Attorney General of New Jersey in the cabinet of New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine. He took office as attorney general on September 26, 2006[1]. Rabner was nominated by Governor Corzine on August 24, 2006, to replace former Attorney General Zulima Farber who resigned and left office on August 31, 2006[2]. On September 25, 2006, Rabner was confirmed by a 35-0 margin by the New Jersey Senate[3]. First Assistant Attorney General Anne Milgram served as Acting Attorney General until Rabner was confirmed[4].
He assumed the post of Chief Counsel to Governor Corzine in January 2006[5]. Previously, Rabner had served as Chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, focusing on public corruption issues, and supervising 100 attorneys and staff. He was viewed as a surprise choice for the chief counsel position, as it traditionally goes to individuals with strong political connections and not to career prosecutors[6].
Rabner graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University and cum laude from Harvard Law School. The Passaic native resides in Caldwell. He was married in 1989 to Dr. Deborah Ann Wiener[7] and has three children[5].
