I'm sorry that I just learned about Jim's passing today.
Jim had been a longtime friend since he was in law school with my brother. They were roommates. I remember him being so smart and knowledgeable about the history of the law. He was fascinating to listen to. He always had a smile for you and and a positive attitude about everything. He will be missed terribly. My condolences to the family.

My sincerest condolences to Judge Schneider's family. Jim was a truly exceptional person and Judge.

Judge Schneider was both a scholar and the common man's champion. He patiently, and respectfully, listened to those who appeared in front of him. No matter was unimportant to him, as he knew how important it was to each person in his courtroom. He was a kind and gentle man and he left this earth a better place because he was in it.
