Albert Beliveau (March 27, 1887 – 1971) of Rumford, Maine was a justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court from March 3, 1954, to March 25, 1958. He was a Roman Catholic, and his son was Severin Beliveau. [1]
Born in Lewiston, Maine, to French-Canadian parents, Beliveau worked in local foundries and mills as a young man, before deciding to pursue a legal career. [2] In 1906, he quit his job at the mill and went to work for a local law office, where he remained for three years as an office worker, while studying law on his own time. [2] He received an LL.B. from the University of Maine School of Law in 1911. [3] Beliveau served in the United States Army in France during World War I, "where his French-Canadian heritage and legal experience was helpful in negotiations with the French, who were qualified to receive reparations for their war claims". [2]
In 1935, Governor Louis J. Brann appointed Beliveau to the Maine Superior Court. [2] He was then appointed to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court by Governor Burton M. Cross, in 1954.
