Draft:Thomas J. Judge

Thomas J. Judge (November 1, 1845 – March 3, 1876) was a justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama from 1866 to 1867 and from 1874 to 1876.

Born in Richland, South Carolina, Judge's family moved to Alabama during his childhood.

In the 1850s, Judge was in a law partnership with George W. Stone.

"The Legislature that convened at the close of the war elected the following as members of the Supreme Court, effective January 1, 1866: A.J. Walker, William M. Byrd, and Thomas J. Judge". The Constitution of 1868 reorganized the court. "At the general election of 1874, Judge Brickell was elected Chief Justice and Thomas J. Judge and Amos R. Manning were elected to the Court. In March 1876, Judge Judge died and was succeeded by George W. Stone".

Judge served on the Alabama Supreme Court until his death, and his seat on the court was then filled by the appointment of Judge's former law partner, George W. Stone.
