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 and Notre Dame Law School.
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.
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 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. He is unmarried and splits his time living in the Chelsea section of Manhattan and Sussex County, New Jersey.
