Fitzgerald has overseen Child Protection Unit at DOJ, and represented Division of Family Services

DOVER, Del. – Governor John Carney on Wednesday nominated Craig R. Fitzgerald, a Deputy Attorney General at the Delaware Department of Justice since 1998, to serve as a Family Court Commissioner in New Castle County.

The Delaware Senate must confirm the Governor’s nomination.

“Craig has the background, experience, and independence necessary to thoughtfully consider cases as a Family Court Commissioner,” said Governor Carney. “I look forward to the Delaware Senate considering his nomination.”

Since October 2008, Fitzgerald has served as a supervisor in the Department of Justice’s Child Protection Unit, responsible for ten Deputy Attorneys General and four staff members who comprise the unit.

He also has served as counsel for the Division of Child Support Enforcement and the Division of Family Services, representing the state in child dependency and child neglect proceedings.

Fitzgerald earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia, and his law degree from the Widener University School of Law.
