I tried (and won) one for the first civil trials before Judge Gleeson after he was appointed to the bench in 1994. I also saw him work as the lead prosecutor in the trial that resulted in the conviction of John Gotti (which is why he was rewarded with a federal judgeship. Gleeson was a pretty good judge, who treated the lawyers, litigants, and defendants with respect, which is not always the case in the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York.
