THE ROBING ROOM

Those who say that Judge Glasser will do anything the government wants him to do could not have been talking about the Judge Glasser I have been before. He both challenges and stands up to the government and tells it like it is. In my view, the government is just another litigant in his courtroom, and that is as it should be. Judge Glasser is fair, evenhanded, well-acquainted with the facts of the case and sharp on the law. He does not insult counsel, even though he could have done so with reason if he wished. He acknowledged his distaste for getting involved in settlement discussions, but did it when he had to and was effective at it. An excellent judge and a credit to the EDNY.
