 Beau Biden’s career in public service extends well beyond his past four years as Delaware’s Attorney General.
He is a captain in the Delaware Army National Guard and recently returned from a year-long deployment supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Iraq. His unit, the 261st Theater Tactical Signal Brigade, was deployed in October 2008 and returned home in September 2009. In 2001, Beau served as Interim Legal Advisor for the United States Department of Justice in post-war Kosovo, helping the war-torn nation develop a law enforcement and criminal justice system.
Beau began his career in public service shortly after graduating from the Syracuse University College of Law, clerking for Judge Steven McAuliffe of the United States District Court in New Hampshire from 1994 to 1995. Beau then joined the United States Department of Justice, where from 1995 to 1997 he served as Counsel in the Office of Policy Development, working on a variety of issues, including those related to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, the Violence Against Women Act, and with regard to missing and exploited children. General Biden then served as a Federal Prosecutor in the United States Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia from 1997 until 2002.
