The James (5) of Jude i, 1 must certainly be identified with James (3), the brother of the Lord and the Bishop of Jerusalem.

James the son of Zebedee is never mentioned in the NT apart from reference also to his brother John.
It remains a possibility, although an extremely remote one, that James the son of Alphaeus is the author, or pseudonymous author, of the book of James (Jas 1:1), and further that he is the brother of Jude who is referred to in Jude 1.
James the son of Alphaeus is so consistently known as such in the lists of the Twelve, in order to distinguish him from others bearing the same name, that it is most improbable that he is in view here, where the name occurs without the similar designation.

 Who Is James?
James Son of Mary: The Marys at the tomb.
When we hear Mary, mother of James and Joses, it correlates with both the list of siblings at the rejection scene in Nazareth and with the reference to Mary the mother of James at the tomb and would have modeled the reference to Jesus' brothers rather than to Jesus, the victim of the execution.
But given the prominence of James and John and the presence of their mother in the request to seat them in Heaven, it seems likely that this Mary had two sons who were two of Jesus' closest companions.

 Alcoholics Anonymous History and the Bible: Early A.A.'s "James Club" - The Bible's Book of James
James and the rest of the scriptures insure that “faith,” “justification,” and “righteousness” shall not be barren or alone or leave the believer as nothing because the faith has not been accompanied by the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation (See James, Chapter 2, 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13).
James 3:15-16 speaks of a “wisdom [that] descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, and devilish.” And, says James, when the enticement results in lustful [and excessive] thoughts and behavior [such as getting drunk and drunkenness], it can and should be recognized as sin, and sin as the producer of death.
