Meet Jen Schorn
A lifelong resident of Bucks County, Jennifer Schorn brings over 25 years of experience as a dedicated prosecutor and public servant. Sworn in as Bucks County District Attorney in January 2024, she has built a career rooted in justice, accountability, and the pursuit of safer communities.
Raised in Upper Southampton Township, Jen is a proud graduate of Archbishop Wood High School and St. Joseph's University. As an undergraduate at St. Joseph's University, Jen quickly distinguished herself as a leader among her peers. She served as the Captain of the Women's Rowing team during her junior and senior years, guiding them to historic victories at the Dad Vail Regatta in 1993 and 1994—an achievement never before accomplished by any St. Joe's women's or men's team.
Jen earned her law degree from Widener University Law School and began her career in public service in 1999 when she joined the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office as an Assistant District Attorney.
Over the years, her dedication and skill in the courtroom earned her several key leadership positions, including Chief of Trials and Chief of the Grand Jury Division. Recognized for her legal expertise and leadership, she was appointed First Assistant District Attorney in 2021, where she played a pivotal role in shaping prosecution strategies and overseeing major criminal cases.
Throughout her distinguished career, Jen has handled a wide range of criminal cases, including high-profile homicide investigations, violent crimes, and complex felony prosecutions. She has been instrumental in solving several cold case homicides, bringing long-overdue justice to victims and their families.
During her time in the office, she has also served as the Chief of the Investigative Grand Jury, Chief of Special Victims and Chief of Major Crimes. She is on the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania District Attorney’s Institute and on Pennsylvania District Attorney’s Association Education and Training Committee.
As District Attorney, Jen is committed to protecting the community, holding criminals accountable, and advocating for crime victims. Her extensive experience, leadership, and deep roots in Bucks County make her uniquely qualified to continue serving with integrity and dedication.
As District Attorney, my priority is keeping Bucks County safe by holding criminals accountable and protecting our most vulnerable. By working together, we can build a safer, stronger community for everyone.
