Grafton Green

Grafton Green (1872-1947) was an American jurist. Green earned an LL.B from Cumberland School of Law at Cumberland University in 1893, being called to the bar that same year. He operated a law practice in Nashville, Tennessee until 1910, when he was appointed an associate justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court. Green became the Chief Justice of Tennessee in 1923, serving until his death. Currently, he is the longest-serving justice on the State's High Bench.

In 1927, Green presided over the appeal of John T. Scopes, who was convicted of teaching evolution. His conviction was overturned on a technicality 154 Tenn. 105 (1927). Five years later, Green also presided over Evans v. McCabe 52 S.W. 2d 159 (1932) which held that the state constitution prohibits personal income taxes on wages.
