Judge Jackie Glass no stranger to high profile cases
July 24th, 2006

The judge assigned to the Titus and Ryan case is Judge Jackie Glass. Her background as listed on the Clark CountyRegional Justice Center web site…

Judge Glass is part of a new generation involved with her family, her profession and her community. While in high school, Judge Glass worked as a waitress to buy her school supplies and clothes. She continued as a waitress, working her way through the University of Georgia, graduating with a degree in journalism. Judge Glass moved to Las Vegas in 1978, beginning as a radio news reporter. She quickly moved to television and served as an anchor and crime beat reporter.

As she followed trials she covered as a journalist, she became interested in the field of law. Once again, she worked her way through college, graduating from the University of San Diego School of Law. In a single year - 1984, Judge Glass passed the Nevada Bar exam before graduation, received her Juris Doctorate, was admitted to the Nevada Bar, and married her husband, Steve Wolfson.

The couple recently celebrated their eighteenth wedding anniversary. They have two daughters, Rachel and Rebecca. With her husband, Judge Glass worked to build a successful law practice while helping at her daughter’s schools, supporting the Girl Scouts and projects such as Nevada Reading Week.

On the professional side, Judge Glass lectured at the UNLV Boyd School of Law, spoken on law topics at local high schools, and appeared on the KLVX show, “Law and the Layman”. She served as an Alternate Domestic Referee, URESA Hearing Master, Paternity Hearing Master, and Alternate Juvenile Referee.

Judge Glass served as a member of the Las Vegas Housing Authority Board and spent six years as a board member of the Senior Citizens Law Project. Judge Glass was elected District Court Judge, Department 5, in the 2002 election.

The Las Vegas Review Journal reported, ” Glass topped the spending list among all 2002 judicial candidates in Southern Nevada in her hard-fought election. Flooding TV airwaves, she spent $409,176 to defeat incumbent Jeff Sobel, who spent $283,233.” Read more about the report on her election campaign here.

She sent a former NFL kicker to a mental facility in early 2005. Read the story here. The ex-kicker later pleaded guilty to firing at Siegfried-Roy’s house. You can read the update here. Note the change in appearance.

Judge Glass could be seen ruling in the Celine Extortion Scheme…

” Another one bites the dust in the extortion shakedown involving Celine Dion’s husband.

Ae Ho Kwon, a minister from Pasadena, California, has been convicted of soliciting millions of dollars in hush money from Rene Angelil. Prosecutors say Kwon, 52, threatened to go public with an unfounded rape allegation by his wife, Yun Kyeong Kwon Sung.

Kwon was found guilty Monday on felony charges of extortion, conspiracy and soliciting a bribe in the Clark County District Court in Las Vegas. Judge Jackie Glass ordered Kwon to remain in custody until a May 12 sentencing hearing, when he faces up to 12 years in prison or deportation to Korea. “
