J. Ed Livingston

J. Ed Livingston (born March 17, 1892 in Notasulga, Alabama) was an American jurist and the Twenty-third Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court from 1951 through 1971.

Livingston attended the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (now Auburn University) and the University of Alabama, where he received a law degree in 1918. After graduation, he served in the United States Army for the remainder of World War I. Upon returning home, he set up a law practice in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as well as serving as a professor of law at the University of Alabama from 1922 to 1940.

Livingston was appointed an associate justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama by Governor Frank M. Dixon on May 9, 1940, and was raised to Chief Justice on February 28, 1951 by Governor Gordon Persons. Livingston was reelected Chief Justice three times, and retired from that position in 1971.
