Stover Center to host Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge

Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Gary Glazer will present a lecture, “Battling Corruption in the Judiciary,” as part of Waynesburg University’s Stover Center for Constitutional Studies and Moral Leadership Lecture Series Thursday, Oct. 23, at 4 p.m. in room 104 of the Center for Economic Development.
Admission is free, and the public is cordially invited to attend.
“Judge Glazer’s background as a Federal Prosecutor and Court of Common Pleas Judge, in addition to his appointment to battle corruption in the Philadelphia Traffic Court, will undoubtedly serve as an inspiration for Waynesburg University students interested in public service,” said Dr. Lawrence M. Stratton, director of the Stover Center for Constitutional Studies and Moral Leadership and assistant professor of ethics and constitutional law at Waynesburg University.
Judge Glazer was appointed by Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille to clean up the Philadelphia traffic court in 2011.
He has a distinguished background as a federal prosecutor and a lawyer and was elected to the Philadelphia bench in 1991. He has lectured in Belarus, England, France and Russia about American law, and in 2005 he was the recipient of a Fulbright Senior Specialist Grant to lecture at the Ecole Nationale de la Magistrature in Paris. He teaches Trial Practice at Villanova University Law School.
