From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is a topical listing for the Dictionary of National Biography (DNB) "missing articles" project. It should contain redlinks for biographies in the topic area "judges" only.

Any added links should be relevant, have a corresponding DNB article, and should be disambiguated. Disambiguation should be consistent with the main working listings (please check). Any bluelinks here may be removed after checking that they run to the correct person; if they run to an incorrect person, please disambiguate yourself or add a note or template. Entries may be lightly annotated, or the summary from the main listing added if this is more helpful.

Listings should be both alphabetical (by surname if any), and, ideally, divided up by volume number for quick reference to the main listings. See s:Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900 for a key to the division into volumes.
