In January 2025, Duke Law alum, Vice Chancellor Glasscock '83, stepped down from the Delaware Court of Chancery after twenty-six years on the bench. Vice Chancellor Glasscock issued hundreds of opinions, including several seminal decisions that today guide corporate directors in boardrooms around the world. Those opinions help law students and practitioners alike determine when directors' decisions deserve deference, the importance of corporate leadership in overseeing compliance with the law, and how to balance the many competing considerations in the lifecycle of a corporation.

Join Vice Chancellor Glasscock for a discussion about his career and experiences. Moderated by Professor Bobby Bishop, and Duke Law alums, Ryan McLeod '07 and Yair Even Tal '13, who clerked for the Delaware Court of Chancery. Sponsored by the Clerkship Office. Lunch provided. Please email Leigh Marquess with any questions. Leigh.Marquess@law.duke.edu
