On Jan. 1, Manhattan will get its first new district attorney in 36 years. Three candidates are running in the Sept. 15 Democratic primary to succeed one of the nation’s most well-known prosecutors, Robert M. Morgenthau, who will retire at age 90. Success in the primary is tantamount to election; there is no Republican candidate. All of the attorneys seeking to succeed Mr. Morgenthau once worked for him as a prosecutor. They are Richard M. Aborn, a managing partner at Constantine Cannon; Leslie Crocker Snyder, a partner at Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman; and Cyrus R. Vance Jr., a partner at Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason, Anello & Bohrer. The Law Journal asked them to discuss their qualifications and their visions for the post-Morgenthau office.
