J. Blaine Anderson (January 19, 1922 – April 16, 1988) was a United States federal judge.
Born in Trenton, Utah, Anderson was raised in Pocatello, Idaho. He attended Idaho State College in Pocatello and completed his bachelor's degree at the University of Washington in Seattle. Anderson then attended the University of Idaho in Moscow and received a J.D. from its College of Law in 1949. He was admitted to the bar and was in private practice from 1949 to 1971 in Blackfoot, Idaho.[1]
On December 1, 1971, Anderson was nominated by President Richard Nixon to a seat on the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho, vacated by Fred Taylor's move to senior status.[1] He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on December 4 and received his commission on December 9, 1971. On June 18, 1976, President Gerald Ford nominated Anderson for elevation to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, vacated by M. Oliver Koelsch's move to senior status.
Anderson was again confirmed by the U.S. Senate, on July 2, 1976, and received his commission the same day. He served in that capacity until his death at age 66 in 1988, of a brain aneurysm in Boise, Idaho.[2] He and his wife Grace are buried at Morris Hill Cemetery in Boise.
