Eugene E. Pratt (c. 1892 – August 28, 1970)[1] was a justice of the Utah Supreme Court from 1939 to 1951, and was chief justice from 1949 to 1951.[2]
Pratt received his undergraduate degree from the University of Utah, and his law degree from Stanford University.[1]
On January 3, 1939, Governor Henry H. Blood appointed Pratt to a seat on the state supreme court vacated by the resignation of Justice Ephraim Hanson, due to poor health.[3] Among his law clerks was M. Blaine Peterson, who later served in the United States House of Representatives.[4] Pratt served until 1951, when he failed to regain the Democratic nomination.[5]
Pratt died of natural causes in Miami, Florida, at the age of 78.[1]
