Glenn '78 and Christy West
Glenn West is a 1978 graduate of Texas Tech School of Law. He and his wife Christy were married after Glenn's first year of law school in May of 1976. Christy taught elementary school in Lubbock for the next two years, and she remembers spending many nights at the law school library grading papers or making lesson plans while Glenn was studying or doing shelf checks for the law review. Glenn and Christy now have three wonderful children and six grandchildren. Glenn credits the dedicated professors at Texas Tech Law for giving him the tools to practice law at the very highest levels. He began his practice at the Dallas firm of Jackson & Walker. Glenn was recruited by Weil, Gotshal & Manges, a New York-based Firm that now has over 1100 attorneys located in offices across the US and around the world, to start their Dallas Office. Glenn was the managing partner of Weil's Dallas Office for almost 20 years, as well as a member of the firm's global management committee.
