Q&A with
Vice Chancellor
Sam Glasscock III
Q: Thinking back to before your distinguished legal
and judicial career, you graduated from the University
of Delaware before deciding to attend Duke University
School of Law. What led to your decision to attend
law school?
Inertia. I was a history major and had been offered a stipend to get a
master’s degree in history. I was on the UD campus in the summer of
1979 and decided that was not where I wanted to be, and I decided
to give up my spot in the program. After that, I ended up working at
Prickett Jones as a legal assistant doing mostly civil-suit investigative
work. That was fun! I decided to take the LSAT. I was the first lawyer
in my family. But I cannot honestly say that I had some burning desire
to be a lawyer.
