Elected in 2002, Glenn F. Ivey is the current State’s Attorney for Prince George’s County Maryland. A former federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., Ivey served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia from 1990 until1994. During his last two years in that office, he served under Eric H. Holder Jr., former United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. While there, Ivey handled nearly 40 criminal jury trials, numerous appeals and grand jury investigations.

In 1983, Glenn graduated with honors from Princeton University and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1986. He joined the litigation department of the prestigious Baltimore law firm of Gordon, Feinblatt, Rothman, Hoffberger & Hollander, followed by a move to Capitol Hill as senior legislative assistant to Congressman John Conyers (D-MI). His extensive experience includes serving as Chief Counsel to former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) and as Counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee for Senator Paul Sarbanes (D-MD). He is a former Partner at the Washington law firm of Preston, Gates, Ellis & Rouvelas, Meeds and is currently an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Maryland School of Law.

In 1988, former Maryland Governor, Parris Glendening appointed Ivey as Chairman of the Maryland Public Service Commission where he held jurisdiction over the electric, telecommunications and gas industries in the state.

Now, as State’s Attorney, he continues to help create a more collective and collaborative approach to rehabilitative justice, launched an aggressive community outreach program to work with community groups and local residents to make neighborhoods safer, and developed youth empowerment initiatives to help reduce juvenile crime by getting youth involved in learning life skills and in understanding the criminal justice process."
