Seitz Jr. Initially serving as master in Chancery before later ascending to the role of vice chancellor, Glasscock’s distinguished career has been marked by his practicality and unique personality.

Glasscock’s decision to step down signifies the end of a significant era in the Delaware Court of Chancery. His influence and experience will be greatly missed in the legal circles.
