A:

James and Jude, brothers of Jesus, are traditionally credited with writing the epistles that bear their names. It is possible that James was written early enough to have been written by the brother James, if somewhat unlikely. The Book of Jude was clearly written in the second century by an author who knew none of Jesus' contemporaries. For example, Jude 3 refers to the faith that was "once delivered unto the saints" - long ago. Therefore Jude could not really have written this one.

In summary, it is possible, although unlikely, that James wrote an epistle in the New Testament. Jude certainly did not.
