| Biography | Richard D. Glovsky is a nationally recognized trial lawyer and employment law attorney. Dick, who appears regularly before the trial and appellate courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in jurisdictions throughout the country, has won numerous precedent-setting rulings and has tried complex matters involving defamation issues, employee non-compete agreements, and wrongful termination actions. Passionately devoted to and active in the cause of civil rights, Dick's primary expertise is defending claims of discrimination. His practice also includes commercial law, tort, probate and real estate matters.
Dick served as the National Hispanic-Jewish Relations chair of the Anti-Defamation League from 2006-2009, and was, in 1997, a recipient of that organization's David A. Rose Civil Rights Award. He has also served as ADL's National Education and Civil Rights chairs and New England Regional Board chair.
Dick has been a legal commentator for New England Cable News and WCVB/Channel 5. He has lectured at Boston College Law School, Northeastern University School of Law, Brandeis International Business School and the University of Massachusetts. Dick has also been profiled in a number of articles appearing in The New York Times, The Boston Globe and The Boston Herald.
In June 2009, Dick was invited to join the Litigation Counsel of America as a Fellow. According to LCA, "membership in this invitation-only trial lawyer honorary society is highly selective and is limited to deserving, experienced and highly qualified lawyers." Fellows are selected and invited into Fellowship after being evaluated on effectiveness and accomplishment in litigation and trial work, along with ethical reputation.
In June 2009, in order to address an increase in anti-immigrant rhetoric and hate crimes targeting Latinos, Dick brought together leaders from the Anti-Defamation League and the Latino Professional Network to kick off the groups' new Latino/Jewish Roundtable Initiative, a program that the two organizations hope will advance partnerships between the Latino and Jewish communities.
Then, in January 2010, El Planeta, the largest Hispanic newspaper in Massachusetts, named Dick to its annual list of 100 of the most influential people in the Hispanic community, in recognition of his efforts in reaching out to the Latino community, and founding the Latino/Jewish Roundtable.
Most recently, Dick accepted an invitation to serve of the Alumni Advisory Board of the Dartmouth Law Journal.
