Education and career


Born in New York City, New York, Haight graduated from Yale University in 1952, where he was a member of Skull and Bones, with a Bachelor of Arts degree and entered Yale Law School the following year, graduating in 1955 with a Bachelor of Laws. Haight gained admission to the New York State bar and in the same year joined the Admiralty and Shipping Department of the Department of Justice as a district court trial attorney. Haight got this job on recommendation from his father Charles Sherman Haight Sr., who was heavily involved in shipping affairs. He left the United States Department of Justice in 1957 to join his father at Haight, Gardner, Poor & Havens as an associate. Haight became a partner of the firm on the death of his father in 1968 and continued the practice of law with them until 1976.[1]



Federal judicial service


Haight was nominated by President Gerald Ford on March 2, 1976, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York vacated by Judge Murray Gurfein. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 26, 1976, and received his commission on March 29, 1976. He assumed senior status on September 23, 1995. Since assuming senior status, he has sat by designation with the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.[1]



Notable cases


One of Haight's earliest decisions, involved an act aimed at protection of the young. In May 1976, Haight passed a restraining order blocking a law that would disallow people under the age of twenty-one who are not living with a guardian from claiming benefits without first obtaining a potentially lengthy Family Court order.[citation needed]


Early the following year, Haight made an unusual provision, when he sentenced John G. Stoessinger, a United Nations official, to teaching prison inmates for failing to report fraud in excess of $260,000. Haight continued to preside over high-profile cases, including fraud relating to investors at Morgan & Stanley Co. and Lehman Brothers, Kuhn Loeb, Inc. in 1982, insider trading at Dean Witter Reynolds in 1984, police surveillance in 1989, and fraud relating to Contel in 1990.[citation needed]


In senior status, his most noted case that spanned from 2002 to 2003 reduced restrictions in police surveillance, which he had imposed himself in 1985 under the Handschu guidelines, even when there is no evidence of criminal offence ([1]). Since March 2007, Haight has revisited his 2003 order, which was made in the antiterrorism climate after 9/11.[2]



Other service


Haight was a director of the Kennedy Child Study Center; advisory trustee of the American-Scandinavian Foundation (Chairman, 1970–1976); manager of the Havens Fund; member of the Journal of Maritime Law and Commerce's editorial board; and a White House Fellow (1991–92).[citation needed]
