Appointed under the Clinton administration, Janet Reno became the first woman Attorney General of the United States. Overseeing the Justice Department, Reno enforced federal policies on civil rights, the environment, gun control and immigration. As Attorney General, Reno faced difficult challenges including the Branch Davidian standoff and the Elian Gonzales case. During her time in office, crime and drug-use rates in the U.S. declined. She was and continues to be a strong advocate of children's and women's rights.
Prior to becoming Attorney General, Reno received her JD from Harvard Law School. She went on to become Staff Director of the Judiciary Committee of the Florida House of Representatives and later, State Attorney for Dade County. Reno has received many proud honors including induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame.
