Prof. David Glassman

I have served as a Deputy Attorney General in the California Attorney General's Office since 1984. I specialize in criminal appeals. My career experience includes two victories in the United States Supreme Court, over 75 cases heard by the United States Court of Appeals, 20 cases briefed and argued in the California Supreme court and well over 500 cases handled in the California Court of Appeal. My work has resulted in more than 150 published decisions in state and federal courts. I have tried several cases to verdict and conducted more than a dozen evidentiary hearings in the federal district court. I have taught appellate advocacy and related moot court classes since 1989 and taught appellate advocacy at Loyola Law School for more than 25 years. During my three decades as faculty advisor to UWLA students competing in statewide and national moot court competitions, UWLA students have won best brief awards at the Roger J. Traynor California Appellate Moot Court Competition on several occasions and reached the finals of the National Criminal Procedure Moot Court Competition. UWLA teams have also won first place in the written brief portion of the latter event, defeating more than 30 ABA institutions. I have also coached moot court students at other law schools, and those students have won national awards in competition. Many of my former students specialize in appellate work.
