Harvard Law Today this week profiled Nashville attorney James Bass, the law school’s oldest living alumnus. Born in 1910, Bass graduated in 1934 from Harvard Law before moving to Nashville and running for the state House of Representatives. In addition to his service in public office, Bass served in the U.S. Army as a judge advocate in World War II. As an attorney at the firm his father founded, Bass, Berry and Sims, he is known for his thoroughness and preparation, as well as his ability to bring people together. Bass turned 107 years old yesterday.
