The Delaware Chancery Court, known for its crucial role in corporate governance, is poised to welcome Bonnie W. David as its newest Vice Chancellor. Currently serving as a Magistrate in Chancery, David has been nominated to replace the retiring Vice Chancellor Sam Glasscock III. Her confirmation is pending a special session of the Delaware Senate scheduled by Governor John Carney for December 16, 2024.
David’s nomination underscores her deep connection to Delaware’s pivotal legal arena, which is integral to many Fortune 500 companies. Her predecessor, Vice Chancellor Sam Glasscock III, was noted for his contributions to the court, leaving behind a legacy marked by decisions that often featured his distinctive “Glasscockian” prose. As David steps into this role, her experience and background are expected to bring continuity and insight to the court.
Governor John Carney’s office announced the nomination late Friday, highlighting David’s significant contributions and the anticipated approval by the Senate. For more details on the announcement and David’s legal career, read more on Bloomberg Law.
