The interview of United States District Judge James H. Jarvis II, of Knoxville, took place September 12, 2005 as part of the Legal History Project of the Tennessee Bar Foundation. The Foundation is a statewide, philanthropic organization which assists lawyers in their ethical obligations to the public.
In 1998, the Legal History Project began interviewing senior members of the bar, and the Project continues to this day. The unedited interviews preserve each lawyer's personal history, experience in the legal community and reminiscences of people, places and events. The full collection is viewable from the Foundation's website.
