U.S. Attorney Faith Hochberg to Speak
on the Evolution of Community JusticePrinceton, N.J. -- Faith Hochberg, U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, will give a lecture entitled "The Evolution of Community Justice within the American Judicial System" at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on Thursday, September 25, at 4:30 p.m in Robertson Hall, Bowl 5.
Hochberg, a well-known New Jersey prosecutor, was named U.S. Attorney in 1994, replacing Michael Chertoff. Hochberg established her reputation by prosecuting a number of headline-making cases, including a 1995 shooting at a Montclair post office that left two postal employees dead. She has been a central figure in the negotiations surrounding the prosecution of Theodore Kaczynski, the alleged "Unabomber." Kaczynski will be prosecuted first in California, but due to Hochberg's efforts the U.S. Justice Department may bring another indictment against him in New Jersey for the 1994 bombing death of Thomas Mosser of West Caldwell. Hochberg's assistant, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Cleary, is leading the California prosecution of Kaczynski.
In December 1996 New Jersey Monthly Magazine named Hochberg "one of the 50 most interesting people in New Jersey," an honor she shared with publisher Steve Forbes, television anchor Connie Chung, filmmaker John Sayles, and author Mary Higgins Clark.
Hochberg's lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
