Early life and education[]

Stier is the son of Serena Auster Stier and Herbert A. Stier.[1] His mother is a mystery writer and adjunct assistant professor of law and art history at the University of Iowa; his father was an orthopedic surgeon in Los Angeles.[1] He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University and a Juris Doctor from Stanford University.

Career[]

In 1982, he worked on the staff of Republican Congressman Jim Leach. In 1992, he clerked for Chief Judge James L. Oakes of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In 1994, he served as a clerk for Justice David Souter of the U.S. Supreme Court.[2]

In 1995, Stier joined the Washington D.C. firm of Williams & Connolly where he was part of President Bill Clinton's defense team during the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal.[2]

Stier was always concerned with the quality of government workers and was able to convince hedge fund manager Samuel Heyman to contribute $25 million to start up a non-for-profit dedicated to attracting qualified young people to government service, the Partnership for Public Service.[3][4]

Personal life[]

Stier has married twice. In 2004, he remarried to fellow Stanford University law student Florence Y. Pan at the New Zealand embassy in Washington, D.C.[1] In 2016, President President Obama nominated Pan to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.[5] Her nomination expired in January 2017 with the end of the 114th Congress, but she was re-nominated June 15, 2021, by President Joe Biden.[6]
