Southern District Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn, who is presiding over the Dewey & LeBoeuf bankruptcy, has a reputation as a well-prepared judge who keeps tight reins on his cases, asks probing questions and pushes attorneys to get to the point.

“Lawyers will frequently get a couple of sentences out before I interrupt with questions,” Glenn said in an interview. “What I want is answers to the questions. That isn’t always the most pleasant experience from a lawyer’s standpoint. It’s important to allow everyone to have their say on motions that are relevant or important to them.”
