William Stryker Gummere (/ɡʌˈmɛər/; 1852–1933) was chief justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
Gummere was appointed an associate justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court in 1895.
Prior to serving on the NJ Supreme Court, Gummere became popularly known as "Dollar-a-life Gummere" after his ruling in a Jersey City case where a child had been killed in a street railroad accident.
After stubborn fighting in the courts, and taking the case to the highest tribunal in the State, Justice Gummere was overborne and $1000 awarded the parents of the dead child.
Gummere died of pneumonia on January 26, 1933 and was buried in Newark, NJ.
