EducationHe received his undergraduate degree from American University in Washington, DC and his law degree from the University of San Diego School of Law. CareerUpon graduating from law school he worked in private practice specializing in business litigation. He was also a council member and mayor for the city of Poway, California.[1] California State LegislatureGoldsmith was elected to three terms in the California state legislature, representing California's 75th State Assembly district from 1992 until 1998. The district covers Poway and other northern suburbs of San Diego County.[1] According to Goldsmith, his greatest legislative accomplishment had to do with juvenile justice. He chaired the Assembly subcommittee that put together a package of legislation that eventually became initiatives that the public got to vote on. He also felt foster care was another of his accomplishments. He was named legislator of the year for the Children’s Lobby. He carried the legislation that eliminated the bias against trans-racial adoption.[2] Goldsmith was the author of two bills, in 1994 and 1997, that attempted to legalize ferrets as pets in California. However, the California Department of Fish and Game opposed any introduction of ferrets into the state, and the bills failed.[3] Superior Court judgeUpon being term limited from the Assembly in 1998, Goldsmith made an unsuccessful bid for California State Treasurer, losing the primary to former Assembly Speaker Curt Pringle, who lost that election and went on to serve as mayor of Anaheim. Following his loss, Goldsmith became a San Diego County Superior Court judge, serving for 9½ years before stepping down to run for San Diego City Attorney. San Diego City AttorneyGoldsmith ran for San Diego City attorney in 2008. In the June primary he received the most votes (32.2%) among five candidates, but not a majority.[4] In the November runoff he defeated incumbent City Attorney Mike Aguirre, 59.4% to 40.4%.[5] In 2012 he was re-elected without opposition.[6] In 2010 Goldsmith's office threatened the owners of a local restaurant with fines and jail for charging a fixed service charge instead of tipping; the issue was whether they were violating state disclosure laws. The city attorney later dropped the issue and did not pursue the case.[7] In 2013, Goldsmith was criticized by Mayor Bob Filner for prosecuting Jeff Olson for chalking anti-bank slogans on city sidewalks outside Bank of America branches, calling it "a stupid case" and a waste of city money.[8] The prosecution was ultimately unsuccessful.[9] With the defendant refusing a plea bargain, facing up to 13 years in jail and US$13,000.00 in fines, Judge Howard Shore admonished Olson's attorney, Tom Tosdal, from mentioning the First Amendment and political speech references during the trial. Additionally, Judge Shore issued a gag order, preventing communications with the media concerning the trial.[10] Goldsmith and Filner were in conflict almost from the day Filner took office, over several issues including medical marijuana, tourism funding, cuts to the City Attorney budget, road paving bonds, and the presence of Goldsmith's aide at a confidential city meetings.[11][12] Goldsmith was a key figure in the August 2013 mediated negotiations that led to Filner's agreeing to resign.[13] Goldsmith left the City Attorney's office in 2016 as a result of term limits. Post-political careerIn March 2017 Goldsmith returned to private practice, joining the San Diego law firm Procopio as an of-counsel attorney on its litigation team.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://sdbj.com/news/2017/mar/19/former-city-attorney-jan-goldsmith-joins-procopio/|title=Former City Attorney Jan Goldsmith Joins Procopio|last=Cox|first=John|date=March 19, 2017|work=San Diego Business Journal|accessdate=20 March 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Goldsmith, Jan}}2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.sandiegomagazine.com/San-Diego-Magazine/May-2008/Jan-Goldsmith/|title=Jan Goldsmith: interview with Tom Blair|date=May 2008|work=San Diego Magazine|accessdate=13 January 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/nuis_exo/ferret/ferret_issues_4.html|title=Ferret issues|work=Department of Fish and Game|publisher=State of California|accessdate=13 January 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.co.san-diego.ca.us/voters/Eng/archive/200806bull.pdf|title=City of San Diego Attorney|work=Direct Primary Election, June 3, 2008|publisher=San Diego County Registrar of Voters|accessdate=13 January 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.co.san-diego.ca.us/voters/Eng/archive/200811bull.pdf|title=City of San Diego Attorney|work=General Election, Tuesday, November 4, 2008|publisher=San Diego County Registrar|accessdate=13 January 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.co.san-diego.ca.us/voters/Eng/archive/201206bull.pdf|title=City of San Diego Attorney|work=Presidential Primary Election, June 5, 2012|publisher=San Diego County Registrar of Voters|accessdate=13 January 2013}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2010/mar/06/linkery-off-hook-over-mandatory-tip-policy/|title=Linkery off hook over mandatory-tip policy|last=Showley|first=Roger|date=March 6, 2010|work=San Diego Union Tribune|accessdate=27 August 2013}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=San Diego mayor, city attorney in dust-up over chalk vandalism case|url=http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-chalk-dispute-20130629,0,2268535.story|date=June 2013|work=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=1 July 2013}} 9. ^{{cite web|last=Perry|first=Tony|title=San Diego jury acquits chalk protester in sidewalk graffiti case|url=http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-chalk-protester-20130702,0,5268242.story|publisher=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=4 July 2013|date=1 July 2013|quote=That Bank of America had contacted the city attorney's office to urge prosecution had become part of the dispute between the Democratic mayor and Republican city attorney.}} 10. ^{{cite web|last=Hargrove|first=Dorian|title=Judge issues gag order in case of man prosecuted for scribbling anti-bank messages in chalk|url=http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/news-ticker/2013/jun/27/judge-issues-gag-order-in-case-of-man-prosecuted-f/|publisher=San Diego Reader|accessdate=4 July 2013|date=27 June 2013|quote=The decision is in addition to a previous ruling from Shore which prohibits Olson's attorney Tom Tosdal from mentioning the First Amendment, free speech, free expression, public forum, expressive conduct, or political speech during the trial.}} 11. ^http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/jun/21/mayor-filner-city-attorney-goldsmith-feud-hp/#&panel1-1 12. ^http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/jul/01/filner-goldsmith-feud-ends-closed-sessions/ 13. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/21/us/san-diego-mayor-bob-filner-deal/index.html|title=San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, city reach mediation deal, city attorney says|last=Wian|first=Casey|date=August 21, 2013|work=CNN|accessdate=27 August 2013}} 10 : Living people|Members of the California State Assembly|Jewish American politicians|University of San Diego School of Law alumni|Mayors of places in California|People from Poway, California|American University alumni|Jewish mayors of places in the United States|California Republicans|Year of birth missing (living people) |
