Robert P. Anderson

Robert Palmer Anderson (March 27, 1906 - May 2, 1978) was a federal judge in the United States.

A native of Connecticut, Anderson attended Yale College and Yale Law School and then worked for many years as a lawyer in private practice in New London, Connecticut. He served as State's Attorney for New London County from 1947 to 1953 and as a member of the Connecticut State Senate from 1947 to 1949. From 1953 to 1954, Anderson was a judge of the Connecticut Superior Court.

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower named Anderson as a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. Anderson served on that court for ten years, including four years (1960-1964) as Chief Judge.

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson promoted Anderson to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Anderson served as an active judge on the appeals court for seven years. He assumed senior status in 1971 and died in 1978.
