Charles H. Grisbaum Jr. (December 31, 1936 – September 6, 2014), was the chief judge of the Louisiana Court of Appeal for the Fifth Circuit, based in Gretna in Jefferson Parish in the suburbs of New Orleans, Louisiana. He had retired as judge in 2001.
The court was created by Act 3 of the 1981 regular legislative session, and the enabling legislation was signed by Republican Governor David C. Treen. The Fifth Circuit is composed of these four parishes: Jefferson, St. Charles, St. James, and St. John the Baptist.
Grisbaum received his bachelor's degree in 1959 from Loyola University New Orleans and his LLB from the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law in 1961. From 1965 to 1982, Grisbaum was senior partner in the firm of Grisbaum and Klepper. From 1972 to 1982, he represented suburban District 79 in Jefferson Parish in the Louisiana House of Representatives. He was a Democrat until 1977, when he switched his affiliation to Republican. Then he was elected in 1979 to a full term as a Republican, but he left midway in that last term to assume the judgeship.
In 1974, Grisbaum was the Democratic nominee for Louisiana's 3rd congressional district. He lost to the Republican incumbent, David Treen, the first GOP congressman from Louisiana since Reconstruction. Few issues surfaced in the congressional race. Grisbaum accused Treen of having a zero rating from the trade association known as the National Council of Senior Citizens. Treen replied that a rival group, the Committee of Fairness to the Aging, had given him a 100 percent rating. The exchange reflected that there was always some interest group in the nation's capital that would grade lawmakers as they wish to be depicted. Questions about Treen's commitment to the problems of the elderly, however, would emerge again in the 1979 gubernatorial election against the Democratic candidate, Louis Lambert of Baton Rouge.
