Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, James graduated from Harvard College in 1838. He was in private practice in Cincinnati, Ohio from 1840 to 1850, and was a Professor of law, Cincinnati College, Cincinnati, Ohio from 1850 to 1856. He was judge of the Superior Court of Cincinnati from 1850 till 1851.[1] He was in private practice in Washington, DC from 1864 to 1879, also working as a professor of law at Georgetown University from 1870 to 1874. James substantially contributed to the Revised Statutes of the United States during the 1870s. He was appointed by President Andrew Johnson in 1866 and re-appointed by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1870 as one of three commissioners tasked to revise and consolidate existing federal statutes.[2] The first edition of the Revised Statutes was adopted by Congress in 1874. In 1877, commissioner George S. Boutwell prepared the second edition of the Revised Statutes with the assistance of James.[3] James appears to have been the only person to have worked on both the first and second editions of the Revised Statutes. On July 24, 1879, James received a recess appointment from President Rutherford B. Hayes to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia vacated by David C. Humphreys. Formally nominated on December 1, 1879, James was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 10, 1879, and received his commission the same day. He retired from the bench on December 1, 1892. He died in Leesburg, Virginia, in 1899 at the age of 81. Publications
