Harrie B. Chase

Harrie B. Chase

Harrie Brigham Chase (August 9, 1889 - November 17, 1969) was a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

A native and resident of Vermont, Chase attended Dartmouth College, where he was a member of the Chi Phi Fraternity. He also attended Boston University School of Law. He practiced law in Vermont for several years and then served as a Vermont state court judge, including two years as a member of the Supreme Court of Vermont.

In 1929, the United States Congress created a new judgeship on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. President Calvin Coolidge decided to appoint a judge from Vermont to the court and selected Chase.

Chase served as a Second Circuit judge in active service from 1929 until 1954, including a brief term as Chief Judge in 1953-54. Upon retirement, he took senior status but heard very few cases after the mid-1950s. Chase was considered a conservative member of the Second Circuit bench and is remembered today primarily in connection with his colleagues, including Learned Hand.
