William Seabrook Edings (1857 – August 23, 1927)[1] was a justice of the Territorial Supreme Court of Hawaii from September 26, 1918 to October 10, 1922.

In 1900, he was appointed as a judge of the territorial circuit court at Kailua, Hawaii, where he remained for four years.

During his tenure there, he compiled a digest of Hawaiian reports that came to be used as an authority by Hawaii attorneys.

[3] Edings was nominated to the territorial court by President Woodrow Wilson on September 6, 1918, with the nomination generally being met with bipartisan approval.

[3][4] At the same time that Wilson named Edings, a Democrat, to the supreme court, he also named former circuit judge John T. DeBolt, a Republican, to succeed Edings as circuit judge.
