Patrick Hobbs (born March 29, 1960) was named the dean of the Seton Hall University School of Law in 1999. He joined the Law School faculty in 1990 and served as associate dean of finance from 1996 to 1999. He is an elected fellow of the American Bar Association and is a former co-chair of the American Bar Association Development Committee.
In 2004, Hobbs served as Chair of the Newark, New Jersey Mayor's Blue Ribbon Commission on the Downtown Core Redevelopment, which led the way for the construction of the Prudential Center entertainment arena. From 2009-11, Hobbs served as interim leader of Seton Hall University's Athletics Department. From 2004-14 Hobbs served on the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation and chaired the Commission beginning in 2010. He stepped down as Chair in 2014 after Governor Christopher Christie appointed him to a newly created role, Ombudsman for the Governor's office.
Hobbs was born March 29, 1960 in Orange, New Jersey. Hobbs received a B.S. magna cum laude from Seton Hall University in 1982, a J.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1985 and an L.L.M. from New York University in 1988.
In private practice, Hobbs was an associate at Hannoch Weisman and Shanley & Fisher. He currently serves as a member of the boards of the Newark Alliance and Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and served as a member of the Advisory Board of Lexis-Nexis, as well as on the boards of the New Jersey Commission of Professionalism and the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education.
On November 29, 2015, Rutgers University President Robert L. Barchi has named Hobbs as the permanent athletic director to replace Julie Hermann. This was after fellow Seton Hall University School of Law alumni and then-Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie helped find him a landing pad as Hobbs was about to be forced to leave the school. In November 2019, Hobbs’ desire to completely neuter college athletics at Rutgers University was accomplished when his ego prevented him from making the rational decision to re-hire Greg Schiano as head coach of the school’s football team. This decision led to the alienation of the school’s most loyal fans, most prominent alumni and biggest contributors.
