John Taylor Adams (December 25, 1873 – May 13, 1942)[1][2] was an associate justice of the Colorado Supreme Court from 1925 to 1935.
In 1904, Adams became the first resident attorney of Windsor, Colorado.[3]
"Adams engaged in law practice at Alamosa after leaving here, and was elected to the state supreme court, where he served several years. He became chief justice of that body".[3]
In 1940, Adams and colleague S. Harrison White received back pension payments for their time on the court, after successfully suing for entitlement to these.[4]
