Professor of Legal Writing
Director, Writing Program
Cathy Glaser is Director of the Writing Program and a professor of legal writing. She has been an administrator in the Writing Program since 1986, preparing the curriculum, supervising the adjunct faculty, and teaching both the first-year course and various upper division writing courses.
Professor Glaser has incorporated her years of experience with legal writing into a first-year textbook, which she coauthored with several colleagues at New York Law School, The Lawyer’s Craft: An Introduction to Legal Analysis, Writing, Research, and Advocacy (Anderson Publishing, 2002). Her own writing for law journals includes articles on such topics as comparable worth, employer withdrawal liability, employer retaliation, shopping center picketing, and attorneys’ fees. Her article “The Right to Religious Dietary Accommodation in Prison” was published in the Syracuse Law Review.
Before coming to New York Law School, Professor Glaser practiced labor relations and employment law (representing management) in several law firms, including Brown & Glaser, where she was a named partner. She taught legal writing at Syracuse University College of Law and Rutgers Law School-Newark as an adjunct professor, and several collective bargaining courses at the Graduate School of Management and Urban Professions at the New School for Social Research.
Professor Glaser attended Cornell University’s New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations and Syracuse University College of Law, where she was a staff writing editor of the Law Review and a member of the Order of the Coif, Justinian Society, and Phi Kappa Phi. She was a 1970 Presidential Scholar.
