Biography
His father was Karl Zacharias Chorin (1794-1868), his mother was Anna Gottlieb. His grandfather was the famous Chief Rabbi of Arad, Áron Chorin. He studied law, partly abroad and partly in Budapest. After graduating as a lawyer, he settled in Arad, where he edited the political newspaper 'Alföld' on behalf of the opposition and practised as a lawyer. As a believer in the centre-left, he was elected deputy in 1867, and as such took a lively part in the proceedings of the House, especially on judicial matters; he was a member of the committees sent to deal with the law on industry and the provisional regulation of criminal proceedings. From 1872, he was intermittently a centre-left member of parliament, a member of the Free Party, a moderate opposition member of parliament, and from 1884 a member of the Free Party again. Elected in 1875-1881 for the district of Arad and in 1881 for the district of Baksa, he then represented the district of Goldsmeggyes. He resigned again in 1899, but returned to the Liberal faction when the Széll government was formed. Later, Chorin, who had already been baptised, was appointed a hereditary member of the House of Lords.
