He was an assistant solicitor general of the Rome, Georgia Circuit from 1925 to 1929, and was then named solicitor general of that circuit, where he served until 1932. From 1934 to 1938 Andrews was an assistant U.S. Attorney of the Northern District of Georgia. During this time, from 1925 to 1935, he was a captain in the United States Army Reserves, J.A.G. He was a special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States in the Antitrust Division from 1940 to 1942, and was at the same time chief of the Trial Section, Criminal Division.
