Judge James Allen Bascue

He was a great judge. Down to earth. The genuine article. I knew him from a "court-clergy" conference we had at Fuller Seminary. I corresponded with him afterwards. I don't know what happened after he retired. I heard something in the news, but if anything, I assume the best. May he rest-in-peace in a better place forever.

I knew James A Bascue when he was chief Trial Counsel at State Bar of Ca. I was a paralegal with the state bar client security fund at the time. The state bar disciplinary system was going through a transition. Mr Bascue in a professional and gentlemanly manner. Was responsible to a large degree in insuring the transition went smoothly. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

I was a relatively new prosecutor at the State Bar when Mr. Bascue became the first Chief Trual Counsel after a major restructuring. He inherited a behemoth job and was skilled in negotiating its vagaries. He worked hard in his life and what I will remember him for were his accomplishments May he rest in the peace of God's comforting Hands.
