Zagel (1905–1999), a native of Warsaw, Poland who had immigrated to Chicago in 1915, and Ethel Samuels Zagel (1911–1986). Zagel earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Chicago in 1962 and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Chicago in the same year. He then earned a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School in 1965.[2] Professional careerZagel began his career as an assistant state attorney in Cook County, Illinois from 1965 until 1969. He then served as an assistant attorney general for the State of Illinois from 1969 until 1977. Concurrent to the job as assistant attorney general, Zagel ran the Criminal Justice Division in the attorney general's office from 1970 until 1977, and he also served as chief prosecuting attorney for the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board from 1973 until 1975.[2] In 1977, Zagel became executive director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission, a post he held until 1979. From 1979 until 1980, Zagel was the director of the Illinois Department of Revenue.[4] From 1980 until joining the federal bench in 1987, Zagel was the director of the Illinois State Police.[2] Federal judicial serviceJudicial appointmentsZagel was a finalist for a federal judgeship in 1985, but was not chosen.[3] On February 2, 1987, President Reagan nominated Zagel to be a judge on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The United States Senate confirmed Zagel on April 21, 1987 and he received his commission on April 22, 1987.[2] He took senior status on October 21, 2016. From 2008 to 2015, Zagel served a seven-year term on the FISA Court.[1][4] Trial historyZagel has presided over many high-profile trials, including:
In April 2009, it was announced that Zagel would preside over the federal corruption trial of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and his brother, Robert Blagojevich.[6] The judge refused to let Blagojevich go to Costa Rica to participate in the show, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, saying Blagojevich needed to prepare a good defense for his upcoming trial and focus on the reality of the current situation.[7] The former governor's wife Patti Blagojevich went instead.[7] In August 2010, jury deliberations began in the Blagojevich trial. Rod Blagojevich was convicted on one charge, of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with a hung jury on 22 other charges. He was retried in June 2011, with Zagel presiding, and the jury returned a guilty verdict on 17 of the remaining counts, including those pertaining to the Obama Senate seat. On December 7, 2011, Zagel sentenced former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to 14 years in federal prison. Other interestsZagel had roles in two major motion pictures. He played a Chicago judge[8] in the 1989 movie, Music Box, and a physician[9] in the 1991 movie, Homicide, written and directed by David Mamet. Zagel performs in motion pictures under his stage name of J.S. Block.[10] In 2002, Zagel published a novel titled Money to Burn,[11] a fictional thriller about a plot to rob the Federal Reserve Bank. Personal lifeZagel and his first wife, Chicago Tribune investigative reporter Pam Zekman, divorced in 1975.[6][5][12] Zagel and his current wife, Margaret Maxwell "Peggy" Zagel, live in the Streeterville neighborhood in downtown Chicago.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}} References1. ^1 {{cite news | url = https://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/21/usa-security-fisa-judges-idUSL2N0EV1TG20130621| title = The judges who preside over America's secret court| publisher = Reuters| author = John Shiffman, Kristina Cooke| date = 2013-06-21| accessdate = 2013-07-01| archivedate = 2013-06-23| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20130623010333/https://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/21/usa-security-fisa-judges-idUSL2N0EV1TG20130621| deadurl = No | quote = Twelve of the 14 judges who have served this year on the most secret court in America are Republicans and half are former prosecutors.}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{FJC Bio|2680|nid=1390251|name=James Block Zagel}} 3. ^{{cite news |first=Daniel |last=Egler |title=2 nominees named for U.S. bench |work=Chicago Tribune |date=23 April 1985 |accessdate=13 August 2013|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1985-04-23/news/8501240188_1_northern-illinois-federal-bench-illinois-department }} 4. ^{{cite web |title=The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court: 2013 Membership |url=http://www.fas.org/irp/agency/doj/fisa/court2013.html |work=Federation of American Scientists |accessdate=June 9, 2013}} 5. ^1 [https://www.thechicagosyndicate.com/2007/06/family-secrets-mob-trial-capsule.html Family Secrets Mob Trial Capsule.
