Graduating from Mount Holyoke College with a bachelor’s degree in 1973, Hatchett received an honorary degree from the college in 2000. She further pursued her education at Emory University School of Law, obtaining a juris doctor degree in 1977. Following her education, she commenced a highly sought-after federal clerkship and later held the position of senior attorney and public relations manager at Delta Air Lines, leading media relations in Europe, Asia, and the United States. Notably, she was recognized as one of the 100 Best and Brightest Black Women in Corporate America in 1990 by ‘’Ebony Magazine”. Her significant contributions had established her solid net worth.

In the same year, she departed from Delta Air Lines to become the first African-American person to serve as Chief Presiding Judge of Fulton County in Georgia, maintaining this role until 2000. Her television series, ‘’Judge Hatchett’’, which premiered in the same year, gained widespread popularity and ran for a total of nine seasons until 2008, securing two daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Legal Courtroom Program. Despite the show’s audience appeal, it garnered mixed critical reviews. Glenda also authored a semi-autobiographical bestselling book titled ‘’Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say’’ in 2004.

In 2006, she ventured into acting, making her debut in ‘’The Young and the Restless’’. She also made guest appearances on various TV shows, including ‘’The Tyra Banks Show’’ and ‘’The Mo’nique Show’’ in 2008 and 2009, respectively. The following year, she featured in an episode of ‘’Every Woman’’, a TV series documentary hosted by Byron Allen, before shifting her focus back to writing in 2010 and achieving the number one National Bestseller status with her book, ‘’Dare to Take Charge: How to Live Your Life on Purpose’’.

In 2014, Hatchett established The Hatchett Firm, specializing in Catastrophic Personal Injury, Class Action, and Medical Malpractice lawsuits. In her most recent projects, she has been hosting ‘’The Verdict with Judge Hatchett’’, a legal TV show that has received high praise from the audience, boasting a rating of nine out of ten stars on IMDB. Glenda was later honored as a Distinguished Alumna at Mt. Holyoke College.
