Albert Francis Judd (January 7, 1838 – May 20, 1900) was a judge of the Kingdom of Hawaii who served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Hawaii through its transition into part of the United States.

Life

Tombstone of Albert Francis Judd in [[Oahu Cemetery]]]]Judd was born January 7, 1838, at what was known as the "Old Mission Home" in [[Honolulu]]. His father was the physician and statesman [[Gerrit P. Judd]] (1803–1873) and mother was [[Laura Fish Judd]] (1804–1872).<ref name="judds"/>

On his father's side, he was a descendant of Thomas Hastings who came from the East Anglia region of England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634. Judd attended Punahou School (founded by his father), and two years of study under William DeWitt Alexander 1858–1860. After graduating from Yale in 1862, he received a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1864.

Career

He served in the army of the Kingdom from 1866 to 1871 rising to the rank of captain. From 1868 through 1873 he served in the House of Representatives and from 1868 in the House of Nobles of the Legislature of the Hawaiian Kingdom. In 1873 he helped elect King Lunalilo, and served as attorney general from January 13, 1873, until February 17, 1874. He then helped elect King Kalākaua after Lunalilo's short reign.

He was appointed as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court in 1874, and promoted to Chief Justice November 5, 1881. He served as chief justice for 19 years until his death. Walter F. Frear then became chief justice. In 1881 he served on a commission to revise laws of the Kingdom.
