From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leslie Perkins Snow (October 19, 1862 – March 1934) was a Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court from 1921 to 1932.

Born in Eaton, New Hampshire, Snow became a schoolteacher by the age of 16. He received a BA from Dartmouth College and a law degree from George Washington University (then called Columbian College) in 1891.[1][2] He gained admission to the bar in Maryland in 1891, and in New Hampshire the following year.[2] He became prominent in law and business.[2]

In 1919, he was president of the New Hampshire Bar Association.[3] Snow served in the New Hampshire Senate, becoming President of the Senate by 1921; on April 8, 1921, Governor Albert O. Brown announced Snow's nomination to the state supreme court.[4]

Snow retired from the court in 1932 at the mandatory age of 70, and two years later died in his home from a heart attack.[2]
