Edward J. Glennon (November 4, 1884 – September 6, 1956) was the Bronx County District Attorney from 1920 to 1923, and a justice of the New York State Supreme Court in 1920 and from 1924 to 1954.
[2] When John Hylan was elected Mayor of New York City in 1918, he appointed Glennon as an assistant city chamberlain,[1] and a year later, Public Service Commissioner Lewis Nixon appointed him a deputy public service commissioner.
[3] In April 1920, New York Governor Al Smith gave Glennon's career a further boost by appointing him as a judge on the New York State Supreme Court,[4] but Tammany Hall refused to give him a position on the Democratic ticket to run for a full term that November.
In 1923 he ran for a judicial position on the New York State Supreme Court, and won a 14-year term.
[7] In 1933 Glennon was appointed to the Appellate Division, and he had the nominations of both the Democratic and Republican Party tickets when he ran for re-election in 1937.
