Born in Wakita, Oklahoma, Trask received an Artium Baccalaureus degree from Washburn University in 1931 where he was a member of the Kansas Beta chapter of Phi Delta Theta and initiated into Sagamore, Washburn's most exclusive honor society. Trask was a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship in 1929.[1] He received a Bachelor of Laws from Harvard Law School in 1934. He entered private practice in Kansas City, Missouri in 1934, eventually moving his practice to Phoenix, Arizona, where he continued until 1969.[2]

Federal judicial service

On June 26, 1969, Trask was nominated by President Richard Nixon to a new seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit created by 82 Stat. 184. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on September 12, 1969, and received his commission on September 16, 1969. He assumed senior status on October 31, 1979, serving in that capacity until his death on May 5, 1984.[2]

gollark: And if you've written the JSON database thing in the way everyone does it, it is opening the file, writing whatever array is in memory to that file, and closing it.

gollark: They create a temporary file, write their buffer to that, and then move the temporary file over the original, so that if they get interrupted in the middle of writing there's less chance of data loss.

gollark: Nope. No good text editor actually works like that.

gollark: I'm inferring.

gollark: Unless you've written more code than I assumed, it isn't actually doing that, it's rewriting the file with the entire array each time.
