  JUDGE JOSEPH CAMPBELL. Among the leading attorneys of Phoenix, Arizona, is
Judge Joseph Campbell, a man of unquestioned integrity, and competent in his
profession. To a thorough knowledge of the legal science, he joins the general
culture derived from a varied and extended course of reading, and is skilled in
the presentation of the most involved and intricate facts, and forcible in his
manner of dealing with difficult and tangled subjects. He is a product of San
Francisco, California, born June 17, 1857, and was educated in the schools of
his native city. When seventeen years old he went to Santa Rosa, to study law
under Jackson Temple and was admitted to the bar when twenty-one years old.
Following this he commenced practicing law at San Rafael, Cal., and remained
there until 1878 when he moved to San Francisco, practicing law there until
July, 1880. He then came to Phoenix, Arizona and has made his home here since.
Judge Campbell was the first city recorder of Phoenix, for two terms was probate
judge and also held at different times the office of United States commissioner,
assistant United States attorney and assistant district attorney. He ranks as
one of the brightest lawyers of the Coast. Judge Campbell was elected mayor of
Phoenix on the Democratic ticket in 1891 and served two terms.
