In the 1960s Dornbaum family changed their name to Dorn. He was raised agnostic, but he converted to Roman Catholicism at the age of 51.[4] Dorn graduated with a degree in sociology from Warsaw University in 1978.[5]
From 31 October 2005 to 7 February 2007 he was Minister of Interior and Administration, resigned after conflict with the Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński.[6] Elected a Marshal of the Sejm on 27 April 2007, with 235 votes, after Marek Jurek's resignation.
