Senior Judge I. Leo Glasser, the oldest judge currently serving on the federal bench, was recently celebrated for his 100th birthday at the federal court in Brooklyn. According to data provided by the Administrative Office of the US Courts, Glasser, who is semi-retired, is set to return to his duties on the bench for a criminal sentencing the day following his milestone birthday.
Although not the first centenarian to serve on the federal bench, Glasser joins a small and distinguished group. Records indicate that only five other judges born in the 20th century have served past the age of 100.
This recent event is a testimony to the dedication and longevity of those serving in the legal profession, even in instances of senior and semi-retired professionals like Judge Glasser.
