Early life and education

Born on November 8, 1936, in New York, New York, He attended Hobart College. After graduating with honors in 1958 with a Bachelor of Arts degree, he was also awarded The Ford Foundation National Honor Scholarship for three years and went on to earn a Juris Doctor from the University of Chicago Law School in 1961. He was admitted to the New York bar in 1961 and the New Jersey bar in 1971.

District Attorney and United States Attorney

Stern served from 1962 to 1965 as an assistant district attorney, New York County, assigned to the Homicide Bureau during which conducted the grand jury investigation of the assassination of Malcolm X.

In January 1966, was appointed Special Attorney in the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the United States Department of Justice in the state of New Jersey. He conducted a Special Grand Jury and uncovered corruption and other wrongdoing both in municipal government, including the then Mayor of Woodbridge Township, New Jersey, and the trade union movement. (United States v. Colonial Pipeline Co. et. United States v. Peter Weber) through 1969.  In December 1970, Stern became The Acting United States Attorney for New Jersey. From 1971 to 1973, he served as the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, pursuant to the appointment of the President of the United States.  He personally conducted / supervised  several major corruption and organized crime trials in New Jersey, including the Mayors of Newark, Jersey City and Atlantic City; two successive State Treasurers and Secretaries of State of New Jersey, as well as U.S. Congressman Cornelius E. Gallagher.

Federal judicial service

Stern was nominated by President Richard Nixon on December 7, 1973, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey vacated by Judge Leonard I. Garth. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 19, 1973, and received his commission on December 28, 1973. His service terminated on January 4, 1987, due to his resignation.

Service with the Court for Berlin

During his thirteen-year tenure on the bench, Stern presided over a variety of civil and criminal cases. However, his judicial service is best remembered for the unique case of United States v. Tiede, an aircraft hijacking prosecution that was the sole case ever tried in the United States Court for Berlin, over which he was specially designated to preside by the Secretary of State. In a published opinion, United States v. Tiede, 86 F.R.D. 227 (D. Berlin 1979), Stern held that even though the case involved prosecution of German citizens in an unusual forum outside the United States, the defendants were still parties to an American criminal proceeding and entitled to the United States Constitution's guarantee of trial by jury. Stern later authored Judgment in Berlin, a book about his experiences in the Tiede case which was made into a motion picture starring Sean Penn and Martin Sheen, who portrayed Stern.
