Judge Gary S. Glazer was affiliated with Paris’s Institut des Hautes Études sur la Justice, where he gave four lectures in the French language in Paris in October 2005. The participants were members of the judiciary, the legal community, and other interested individuals. He spoke on various topics, including how judges are elected on the state level.
He was able to gain insight into how the French attendees viewed the U.S legal system and processes. The experience also gave him a strong interest in foreign legal systems, which he has since avidly pursued. In August 2020, he was again selected for the same Fulbright program and plans to teach in Uganda.
