James Creed Meredith
James Creed Meredith K.C., LL.D. (28 November 1875 – 14 August 1942) was an Irish nationalist of the early 20th century, who upheld Brehon Law. He was President of the Supreme Court of the Irish Republic, Chief Judicial Commissioner of Ireland and a Judge of the High Court and the Supreme Court of Ireland. He was selected by the League of Nations to oversee the Saar Valley Plebiscite and was a Senator of the National University of Ireland. He was also a noted scholar, philosopher and author, whose 1911 translation of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Judgement is still widely used by students today. In 1896, he won the British championship for the Quarter mile race. He is the grandfather of the bronze casting sculptor Rowan Gillespie.
==Early life==
James Creed Meredith was the son of Sir James Creed Meredith and Ellen Graves Meredith (1848–1919), his father's third wife and the daughter of his father's first cousin, Rev. Richard Graves Meredith (1810–1871), of Timoleague, Co. Cork, the elder brother of Sir William Collis Meredith and Edmund Allen Meredith. James was a nephew of Sir Edward Newenham Meredith (1776-1865), 9th Bt., and a brother of the Ven. Ralph Creed Meredith and Llewellyn Meredith (1883–1967), a judge in New Zealand. He was a cousin, Richard Edmund Meredith, Master of the Rolls in Ireland.
Meredith was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, from which he received a master's degree. In 1896, whilst a student at Trinity, he became the British Quarter Mile Champion, running the distance in 52 seconds and beating Fitzherbert of Cambridge, the holder of the championship. Coincidentally, his future brother-in-law, Howard Meredith Percy (1879–1902), won for Canada the inter-collegiate championship in the half-mile and mile runs when at McGill University. Following university, Meredith embarked upon a legal career, becoming a barrister.
