James Gregg Campbell (1811 – November 9, 1868) was a justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court from May 4, 1853, to October 17, 1855.[1] [2] [3]
Born in North Carolina, Campbell gained admission to the bar in Louisiana in 1835,[2] and became prominent as an attorney.[4] In 1849, President Zachary Taylor nominated Campbell to a seat on the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, but Campbell declined the appointment. He instead served as a judge of the Louisiana District Court for Parishes of Rapides and Natchitoches from 1849 until his appointment as an associate justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court.[2]
Campbell withdrew from public life for several years in the 1860s due to complications following a stroke,[4] from which he eventually died. He was interred at The American Cemetery in Natchitoches, Louisiana.[2]
