Evelyn C. Maxwell

Evelyn Croom Maxwell (July 27, 1863 – November 17, 1954) was a justice of the Florida Supreme Court from 1902 to 1904.

[2] Maxwell studied in the public and private schools of Pensacola and at the University of Nashville in Tennessee,[2] thereafter entering the practice of law in 1885.

[2] These appointments lasted until 1902, when a constitutional amendment was passed adding three temporary justices, who would serve until 1905.

[2] Maxwell became a Supreme Court justice on December 1, 1902, and served in that position until February 15, 1904,[1] when he submitted his resignation to Governor William Sherman Jennings.

[4][2] As a justice, it is noted that Maxwell "was often teased about the apparent chaos and disorder of his office, even though he could find any document on a minute's notice".
