Andrew P. Napolitano (born June 6, 1950 in Newark, New Jersey) is a former judge and now an analyst for Fox News Channel. Napolitano started on the channel in 1998, and currently serves as the network's senior judicial analyst, commenting on most legal news and trials. He is a graduate of Princeton University, where he was a founding member of the Concerned Alumni of Princeton, and Notre Dame Law School.
Napolitano was a Superior Court judge in New Jersey from 1987 to 1995, becoming New Jersey's youngest life-tenured judge. He also served as an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University School of Law for eleven years.
In 2004, he wrote the book Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks its Own Laws, a criticism of the American system of justice.
Previous to joining Fox, Napolitano was the presiding judge on the television show Power of Attorney, which was similar to shows such as The People's Court where people brought small-claims disputes to a televised courtroom. The difference was that plaintiffs and defendants were represented pro bono by famous attorneys. The show ran in syndication during the 2000–2001 season.
Napolitano also co-hosts his own radio show on Fox News Radio, Brian and the Judge, with Brian Kilmeade.
In 2006, Napolitano wrote The Constitution in Exile: How the Federal Government Has Seized Power by Rewriting the Supreme Law of the Land.
His new book, A Nation of Sheep, was released in October 2007. [1]
Dr. Murray Sabrin mentioned Napolitano as a possible vice presidential running mate for Republican Ron Paul during the 2008 presidential election.[2]
He describes himself as a pro-life libertarian. He is unmarried and splits his time living in Manhattan and Sussex County, New Jersey.
