In Memoriam: Law School Adjunct Professor Jim Krause ‘75

University of San Diego Trustee and law school Board of Visitor Member James Krause, '75 (JD), passed away on August 16, 2012, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his wife Gale and three sons: Andrew, Mark and David.

Krause joined USD's Board of Trustees in 2009 and served on the audit and student affairs committees. He graduated from USD School of Law in 1975, became an adjunct professor in 2007, and was a longtime member of the law school’s Board of Visitors.

"Jim was a distinguished alumnus and generous benefactor of the law school," said Dean Stephen C. Ferruolo. "For several years, he also capably taught Securities Regulation as an adjunct professor. He will be fondly remembered, among other things, for the passion, energy, and commitment so evident in both his teaching and his service to the law school and the University of San Diego."

Classroom 2B in USD's Warren Hall was named for Gale and James Krause in 2005 in recognition for their generous support of USD School of Law’s endowment campaign.
