Andrew P. Napolitano (born

judge and now an analyst for
Fox News Channel. Napolitano started on the channel in

Napolitano was a
Superior Court judge in
New Jersey from
1987 to
1995, earning distinction as New Jersey's youngest life-tenured judge.
In
2004, he wrote the book
Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks its Own Laws, a stinging criticism of the American system of justice and the abuses of citizens' rights.
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
2000â€"
2001 season.
Napolitano also 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.
He describes himself as a pro-life libertarian, in that all other rights are useless if life is not protected. He is unmarried and splits his time living in the
Chelsea section of Manhattan and
Sussex County, New Jersey.
