The Society s goals are threefold: 1) to marshal the sources for historical study of the District; 2) to initiate and encourage comprehensive and scholarly study of the court; and 3) to develop inter pretive programs and exhibits making the fruits of this research accessible and meaningful to the legal community and the general public. In 1980 this series of oral histories conducted by The Bancroft Library was initiated as an important effort in the furtherance of the Society s objectives. By preserving the personal reminiscences of individuals whose experiences and memory can yield valuable "oral evidence" of the court s history, the Society hopes to enhance and amplify the written record. In addition to historical study of the District, the Society hopes to promote greater public understanding and appreciation of the role of the federal judiciary. Except for those involved in the legal process, the operation, significance, and impact of federal trial courts remains largely a mystery to most Americans. By focusing on the history and activities of the Northern District, the Society hopes to bridge this gap between the legal and lay world and even encourage other District courts to initiate similar efforts. As the nation nears the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the United States Constitution, it is an appropriate time to raise the level of public understanding by placing the contemporary role of district courts in historical perspective. Thanks are due to the foresight and generosity of the individuals and organizations whose support make this work possible.

Zirpoli and States District Court for the Northern District of California iii INTERVIEW HISTORY Researchers interested in the history of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and in the evolution of the modern federal district court, are fortunate to now have available four oral histories conducted with individuals long associated with the Court: Herman Phleger , George B. Harris, Albert C. Wollenberg, Sr. , and, in this volume, Alfonso J. Zirpoli. In addition, an oral history completed with William T. Sweigert, a recently deceased Northern District Court judge, under the auspices of both the Court and the Earl Warren Era project, is in its final stages of production and will be available in late 198U. Since 1980 the Northern District Court has worked with the Regional Oral History Office to research and prepare oral history memoirs with some of the Court s distinguished attorneys and judges. These oral histories are part of a unique effort on the part of the Historical Society of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California to collect materials relevant to the Court s history. These interviews complement each other in their discussion of critical themes and topics. Alfonso Joseph Zirpoli has been a judge of the Northern District since 196l, and is currently serving on senior status. The memoir opens with Zirpoli s recollections of his arrival in San Francisco from Denver in 1918 as a young boy, with his mother and younger brother, Armando, to meet their father who had come out earlier to assume a new position at the Italian consulate. Both boys matriculated through San Francisco grammar and high schools. As Zirpoli characterizes Washington Grammar School, "When you graduated from that school, you either ended up in San Quentin or you were employed by the Bank of Italy." Zirpoli dates his interest in the law from his father s own enthusiasm for it and his experiences in the debating society at Lowell High School. As he reminisces about his youth, the reader can imagine life in Italian North Beach in the period after World War I. This young Italian American opened his first law office in North Beach and counseled many Italian clients. Clearly a highlight of this period for Zirpoli was his warm tutelage became the Bank of under A. P. Giannini , progenitor of the Bank of Italy (which America) and fellow Washington Grammar School graduate, and Zirpoli s efforts on Giannini s behalf in the Democratic party and in the bank s politics, all in the 1930 s. Throughout his life in San Francisco, Zirpoli has kept close ties with the Italian community and he has maintained memberships in numerous Italian associations such as the Italian Mutual Benefit Society, the Italian- American Chamber of Commerce, and II Cenacolo. Several episodes dominate Zirpoli s recollections of his years as an assistant United States attorney in San Francisco between 1933 and 19^^, including his role in the apprehension, investigation, and trials of the iv accomplices of "Baby Face" Nelson; in the hearings before the Alien Enemy Control Board; in the Northern District Court cases of Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu and Mitsuye Endo; and in the courtroom of Harold J.

So, I did some of that because I was interested in the federal practice anyhow. Hicke: This is in Pennsylvania? Poole: No, when I got here. In Pennsylvania I worked for a small office.

When I was an enlisted man up in New Hampshire, I was, of course, a member of a bar, and so I was called upon to defend some of the soldiers in courts martial, because though there was a designated trial judge advocate and a designated defense counsel, enlisted people mistrusted them and thought that they would be delivered into the hands of the Philistines if they took their counsel.

    for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment at Colorado Law 6th Annual Martz Winter Symposium The Changing Landscape of Public Lands Thursday, February 28th and Friday, March 1st, 2019 Wolf Law Building, Wittemyer Courtroom University of Colorado School of Law 6th Annual Martz Symposium Clyde O. Martz was a father of natural resource law in the United States. He was an exemplary teacher, mentor, counselor, advocate, and a professor of natural resources law for 15 years at Colorado Law. Professor Martz was one of the founders of the Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation and of the Law School’s Natural Resources Law Center, which later became the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment. In 1951, he assembled and published the first natural resources law casebook, combining the previously discrete subjects of water law, mining law, and oil and gas law. In 1962, Professor Martz joined the law firm of Davis Graham & Stubbs. During his tenure at Davis, Graham & Stubbs, he took periodic leaves of absence to serve as the Assistant Attorney General of the Lands and Natural Resources Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (1967- 69), a Colorado Special Assistant Attorney General (1971-75), and as the Solicitor of the Department of the Interior (1980-81). He retired from the firm in the late 1990s and passed away in 2010 at the age of 89. The Martz Natural Resources Management Fund was established in memory of natural resources law pioneer Clyde Martz and supports innovative programming at Colorado Law on best practices in natural resources management.
