Israel Leo Glasser (born April 6, 1924), also known as I. Leo Glasser or Leo Glasser, is a Senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Born in New York City, New York on April 6, 1924, Glasser graduated from the City College of New York in 1943 and then served in the United States Army in Europe during World War II. He was awarded the Bronze Star for bravery during his service in the European theater. Upon returning from the war, Glasser obtained a law degree from Brooklyn Law School in 1948, and then immediately began teaching at the school. He served on the faculty until 1969, when he was appointed a judge of the New York Family Court. For years, Glasser lectured to thousands of law students preparing for the New York Bar Exam on virtually all subjects covered on the bar exam. He returned to Brooklyn Law School in 1977 to serve as dean, a position he held until 1981 when he was nominated for the federal bench.
Glasser was nominated by President Ronald Reagan on November 23, 1981, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York vacated by Judge Jacob Mishler. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 9, 1981, and received commission on December 10, 1981. He assumed senior status on July 1, 1993.
