James Schouler (March 20, 1839 - 1920), American lawyer and historian, was born in West Cambridge (now Arlington), Massachusetts.

He was the son of William Schouler (1814-1872), who from 1847 to 1853 edited the Boston Atlas, one of the leading Whig journals of New England. The son graduated at Harvard in 1859, studied law in Boston and was admitted to the bar there in 1862. In 1869 he removed to Washington, where for three years he published the United States Jurist.

After his return to Boston, in 1874, he devoted himself to office practice and to literary pursuits. He was a lecturer at Boston University School of Law between 1885 and 1903, a non-resident professor and lecturer in the National University Law School, Washington, DC, in 1887-1909, and a lecturer on American history and constitutional law at Johns Hopkins University in 1908. In 1896-1897 he was president of the American Historical Association.

Schouler is best known, however, as an historian; his most important work being a History of the United States under the Constitution, 1789-1865 (7 vols, 1880-1917). The components include: v. 1. 1783-1801. Rule of Federalism.-- v. 2. 1801-1817 Jefferson Republicans online--v. 3. 1817-1831 Era of good feeling.-- James Schouler (1917).
