Widener University School of Law Associate Professor Geoff Moulton will take a leave of absence from his teaching duties on the Delaware campus to become chief counsel to U.S. Sen. Ted Kaufman of Delaware.
He will advise Kaufman on pending matters, particularly issues facing the Senate Judiciary Committee on which Kaufman sits.
Moulton’s leave begins in May.
“While we will miss Geoff as he assumes this new role, Widener Law is also proud to share him with Sen. Kaufman and the people of Delaware,” said Widener School of Law Dean Linda L. Ammons. “We know how well served they will be by his talents, intellect and insight.”
“Geoff’s combination of experience and knowledge of the law will be an asset to my office and the citizens of Delaware,” said Kaufman, the freshman senator who served as Vice President Joe Biden’s chief of staff for 19 years before stepping in to fill Biden's senate seat in January. “While I know he will be missed in Widener’s classrooms, I am pleased that Geoff’s newest avenue of public service leads him to the Senate.”
It will not be the first time Moulton leaves teaching for public service. He took a four-year leave from Widener Law beginning in 2001 to work as first assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Moulton joined the Widener faculty in 1993 and teaches criminal law, criminal procedure, white collar crime and evidence. He has a law degree from Columbia University School of Law and he clerked for former Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist at the U.S. Supreme Court from 1985-86.
Other career highlights include jobs as a special counsel at the U.S. Justice Department in Washington, a federal prosecutor and a private practitioner in Philadelphia. Moulton served as project director of the Waco Administrative Review for the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 1993, before coming to Widener.
“I am thrilled and honored to be given this opportunity by Sen. Kaufman and by Widener,” Moulton said. “I have always been drawn to public service and I can’t imagine a more interesting or important time to serve in Washington.”
