Jeffrey Toobin


Emmy Award-winning ABC/CNN Legal Analyst and best-selling author
awarded Doctor of Humane Letters and served as Commencement Speaker

*Jeffrey Toobin, a staff writer at The New Yorker since January 1993 was recognized for his work in broadcasting, literature and the law. Prior to joining The New Yorker, Mr. Toobin served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Brooklyn, New York. He also served as an associate counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh, an experience that provided the basis for his first book, Opening Arguments: A Young Lawyer’s First Case-United States v. Oliver North.
Mr. Toobin is the legal analyst for CNN, which he joined in 2002 after six years with ABC News. In 2000, he received an Emmy Award for his coverage of the Elian Gonzalez case. He authored, Too Close to Call: The 36-Day Battle to Decide the 2000 Election, A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal that Nearly Brought Down a President, and The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson. The latter two books were New York Times best-sellers.
Since joining the magazine, Mr. Toobin has covered legal affairs and written articles on such subjects as Attorney General John Ashcroft, the Florida recount, Kenneth Starr’s investigation of President Clinton, the Paula Jones sexual harassment case, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and the trials of Timothy McVeigh and O.J. Simpson. In his article, Lunch At Martha’s, Toobin obtained the first interview with Martha Stewart regarding her investigation for insider trading. His article, An Incendiary Defense, disclosed for the first time the Simpson defense team’s plans to accuse Mark Fuhrman of planting evidence and to play the race card.
Mr. Toobin received his A.B. from Harvard College in 1982, and in 1986, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review.
