Trenton, N.J. – Attorney General Stuart Rabner today appointed Lisa P. Thornton, a senior associate counsel in the Governor’s office, as his chief of staff at the Department of Law and Public Safety.

Thornton, 42, of Neptune Township, was assigned to the authorities unit in the counsel’s office, monitoring the operations of independent boards, commissions and authorities. Rabner was Governor Corzine’s chief counsel before the Governor nominated him as attorney general. Rabner was confirmed by the State Senate on Monday and sworn into office on Tuesday.

Thornton was a special deputy commissioner in the Department of Banking and Insurance for four years before joining the counsel’s office in January. She helped develop policies related to insurance compliance and consumer issues. She helped gained passage of the New Jersey Automobile Insurance Cost and Competition Act of 2003, legislation that helped bring insurance companies back into the New Jersey market.

Thornton, a 1986 graduate of Douglass College at Rutgers University, earned her law degree from Rutgers School of Law in Newark in 1992. She was the Neptune Township Municipal Court judge from 1999 to 2001. She worked for Prudential Financial as a claims analyst and attorney from 1986 through 2002.

"Lisa has the extensive experience and excellent skills to help manage the Department of Law and Public Safety,’’ Rabner said. "In addition, she will play an important role in expanding our office’s outreach programs to strengthen ties between state law enforcement programs and initiatives and local communities.’’

First Assistant Attorney General Anne Milgram and Criminal Justice Director Gregory Paw will continue in their top leadership posts in the department, Rabner said.
