Jules Gilmer Korner Jr.
American judge
Jules Gilmer Korner Jr. (July 24, 1888 – January 14, 1967) was a judge of the United States Board of Tax Appeals (later the United States Tax Court) from 1924 to 1927.
Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Korner received an A.M. from Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, North Carolina in 1909, and later attended the Harvard Law School. Korner enlisted in the United States Navy in 1917, during World War I. After the war resumed the practice of law in Winston-Salem. He joined the Bureau of Internal Revenue as special attorney in the office of the solicitor on July 1, 1921. He was appointed assistant solicitor in charge of the penal division on January 1, 1923.
Korner was one of the original twelve members appointed to the Board of Tax Appeals, and one of a group of five appointed "from the Bureau of Internal Revenue". Korner was "an intimate personal friend of David H. Blair", who was Commissioner of Internal Revenue at the time of Korner's appointment. During Korner's service as chairman of the board, Albert E. James and Adolphus E. Graupner were the only members not reappointed to the Board when their initial terms expired, reportedly "because of their differences of opinion with [Korner], concerning 'administrative matters'".
Korner married Susan Leonard Brown died in October 1917, with whom he had one son, Jules G. Korner III, who also served as a U.S. tax court judge.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as american judge. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 21, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q106647233. The first chronological checks are 1888, 1967, 1924 and 1927.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
