Craig Carpenito, an Alston & Bird litigator and former federal prosecutor, has been appointed interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.
Carpenito has been seen as the front-runner for the state's top federal law enforcement job for several months, but the White House has yet to make a nomination for that job. His interim appointment, announced by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, came just as acting U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick was about to reach the end of his 300-day term.
Carpenito is co-chairman of Alston & Bird's Litigation and Trial Practice Group and its Government and Internal Investigations Team. He served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey from 2005 to 2008.
