University alumnus appointed to Justice Dept. post

University alumnus William Moschello (CLAS '90) was recently appointed the U.S. Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General.

The principal associate deputy attorney general is the chief associate to the deputy attorney general, who advises the attorney general on policy matters.

"I'm the number one who reports to the deputy," Moschello said.

Before being appointed to this position, Moschello said he served as the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs, which is a Senate confirmed position.

According to Moschello, in his previous position he worked on crafting the renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2005, the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 and the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006.

"Will is a very good lawyer who is a prodigious worker and has a wonderful demeanor that puts everyone at ease," said Kyle Sampson, chief of staff at the Department of Justice. "He has great respect from all of the varied parts of the department."
