United States Attorney General, [1993, [2001| successor=[John Ashcroft, [Florida
-->
Janet Reno (born [July 21, 1938) was the first and to date only female United States Attorney General of the
United States (1993–
2001). She was nominated by President of the United States Bill Clinton on February 11,
1993, and confirmed on
March 11. She was the second longest serving Attorney General after
William Wirt (Attorney General).
Biography
Reno's father, Henry Reno (original surname Rasmussen), immigrated to the United States from Denmark and for forty-three years was a police reporter for the
Miami Herald. Jane Wood, Reno's mother, raised her children and then became an investigative reporter for the
Miami News. At a conference on criminality on
March 31 2006, Reno said that her mother built the Reno family house on the edge of the Everglades, digging the foundation with her own hands, and installing all of the wiring and plumbing. Reno's father helped with the heavy work when he came home from work at night. The house withstood Hurricane Andrew, an experience that left an important mark on Reno's outlook on life: Reno said that the experience taught her that if communities are built with the right materials, instilling values such as discipline, these communities can be made strong and can prevent or withstand violence. Janet Reno has three younger siblings. She is the sister of columnist Robert Reno, and aunt to model Hunter Reno. She was one of two
Danish Americans in the cabinet, the other being
Lloyd Bentsen.
Reno attended public school in Miami-Dade County, Florida, where she was a debating champion and was valedictorian at Coral Gables High School. In 1956 Reno enrolled at
Cornell University in
Ithaca, New York, where she majored in
chemistry, lived in
Balch Hall, became president of the Women's Self-Government Association, and earned her room and board.
In
1960, Reno enrolled at Harvard Law School, one of only sixteen women in a class of more than 500 students. She received her LL.B. from Harvard three years later.
In 1971, Reno was named staff director of the
Judiciary Committee of the
Florida House of Representatives. She helped revise the Florida court system. In 1973 she accepted a position with the Dade County State's Attorney's Office. During this time, questions about Reno's sexual orientation became a major part of Republican opponent Jack Thompson (attorney)'s campaign against her, who demanded to know her sexual orientation . She left the state's attorney's office in 1976 to become a partner in a private law firm.
In
1978, Reno was appointed
State Attorney for Dade County (now called Miami-Dade County). She was elected to the Office of State Attorney in November
1978 and was returned to office by the voters four more times. She helped reform the juvenile justice system and pursued delinquent fathers for child support payments and established the
Miami Drug Court.
During her time in Dade County, she was the lead prosecutor in a police brutality case. She was unable to convict any of the four officers charged with beating Arthur McDuffie in
1979. She had a solid case, giving some officers immunity to testify, but the officers who reached jury trial were acquitted by an all white male jury.
Attorney General Nomination
In
1993, Reno was nominated and confirmed as the first female Attorney General under Bill Clinton, after both of his previous nominees,
Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, had confirmation problems when it was revealed both had previously employed illegal immigrants as nannies. Reno remained Attorney General for the rest of Clinton's presidency, making her the longest-serving Attorney General since William Wirt (Attorney General) in 1829.
While Clinton could steer a middle ground between his
Democratic Party (United States) supporters and the Republican Party (United States)
Congress of the United States on economic issues, Reno's job was at the center of a variety of intractable cultural conflicts. This made her a lightning rod for criticism of the Clinton Administration from the right, who often perceived the federal government as a threat to their fundamental freedoms.
At the Justice Department
Reno supervised the following United States Department of Justice actions:, 1993, the day of the ATF's final assault
- The month-long Waco Siege and ensuing deaths of more than 80 men, women, and children--the Branch Davidians--in Waco, Texas. This was the deadliest government action taken against American citizens on U.S. soil since the American Civil War.
- Prosecution resulting in the conviction of 21 of the Montana Freemen after an 81 day armed standoff.
- Capture and conviction of the Unabomber.
- Capture and conviction of those who conducted the World Trade Center bombing (resulting in life-sentences of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman and 4 conspirators)
- Leak to the news media regarding Richard Jewell that led to the widespread and incorrect presumption of his guilt in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing. She later apologized, saying "I'm very sorry it happened. I think we owe him an apology. I regret the leak." Reno to Jewell: 'I regret the leak' (July 31 1997)
- Capture and conviction of Mir Aimal Kasi for the CIA headquarters shootings.
- Armed seizure of six-year-old Elián González and his return to his surviving parent in Cuba.
Post-political life
Reno ran for Governor of Florida in 2002, but lost in the Democratic primary to
Bill McBride (candidate). Voting problems arose in the election, and she did not concede defeat until a week later. She has since retired from public life but frequently makes guest appearances for Democratic and other political causes.
After her tenure as attorney general and her unsuccessful gubernatorial election bid, Reno tours the country giving speeches on topics relating to the criminal justice system. For example, on March 31, 2006, she spoke at a criminology conference held at the University of Pennsylvania. At this conference, she stated that she believes that the education system in this country needs to be improved, as there is a link between the quality of education and the crime rate. She also believes that too much money has been diverted away from the
juvenile court system and believes that the government should find some way to make the juvenile courts work effectively so as to prevent problems in troubled children and adolescents before these problems are exacerbated by the time these adolescents reach adulthood. in character as her.On
Saturday Night Live, Janet Reno chose to appear alongside
Will Ferrell's tough-talking, easily excited impersonation of Reno. Reno appeared on the final installment of the recurring sketch "Saturday Night Live musical sketches#Janet Reno's Dance Party" in January
2001. In another television appearance, on a 2007 Super Bowl XLI TV commercial, Janet Reno was among the guests at Chad Johnson's Super Bowl party ().
