Abstract
Stanley G. Feldman of Tucson served on the Arizona Supreme Court from 1982 through 2002, and was its chief justice from 1992 to 1997. In his twenty years on the court, he gave a lively time to many an Arizona attorney in oral argument. His impact as a Justice has been, in a word, immense.
There is nothing neutral about Feldman. He has warm friends and sharp critics. At the practice, he was a successful tort lawyer in Tucson and not everyone enjoyed combating him. The Author was on the Merit Selection Committee that sent his name to Governor Bruce Babbitt; the Committee's vote was not unanimous. Some strongly opposed his 1982 appointment to the court.
Over a lifetime, Feldman's friends have vastly outnumbered his critics. His honors are many; one that particularly pleases him is the designation of a courtroom at the University of Arizona law school, his alma mater. As he ends his judicial career, he is overwhelmingly and appropriately respected as a major contributor to the growth of Arizona law.
