In the death of James F. Henderson, the legal profession has lost an attorney having rich experience of about 50 years and 100 trials.
Henderson, nicknamed as "The Silver Fox" for being handsome and "Gentleman Jim" for his good behavior, will also be remembered for his wry humor in the courtrooms.
Before he died in the last week of May, Henderson dedicated his life for libel actions and First Amendment cases. He exhibited his legal brilliance while representing "The Arizona Republic and The Phoenix Gazette.
"Commenting on Henderson's legal knowledge and oratory and writing skills, Pat Murphy, a former publisher of the gazette said, "Jim Henderson could have been a prolific author of law books or a renowned law school professor, instead, he remained true to his first love - the courtroom and trial work on behalf of the First Amendment and protecting the press."
For 42 years of his legal profession, Henderson remained associated with law firm Gust, Rosenfeld and Henderson in Phoenix.
Simple and modest as he was, Henderson was never in favor of dramatics in the court; though he himself was an adroit orator.
