James Emory Speer was an American congressman and jurist. He was a well-known lawyer in Athens, was the solicitor general of Georgia.
Background
Emory was born on September 3, 1848 in Culloden, Georgia, United Statesm the son of the Rev. Eustace Willoughby and Anne (King) Speer. Both his grandfather and his father were Methodist divines of notable eloquence. The boy inherited much of their fine physique and power, and grew up alert and headstrong, moving with his parents from town to town as his father was sent to different churches.
Education
After the war was over, he entered the University of Georgia and was graduated in 1869 with distinction in scholarship and oratory.
Career
At sixteen Speer fell in with Lewis' Kentucky brigade of mounted infantry retreating before Sherman's advance, and volunteered enlistment in their ranks. In 1869 he was admitted to the bar. He served as state solicitor-general in 1873-76 and as congressman in 1879-83.
He was put on the Ways and Means Committee and on the conference committee on the tariff bill of 1883, and in that year was appointed district attorney of the North Georgia circuit by President Arthur.
Despite vigorous Democratic opposition, he was promoted, February 18, 1885, to the federal court of the southern district of Georgia, a position which he held until his death. As judge he was distinguished by his dignity and formality and his ultra-courteous bearing. His enemies--and they were many--accused him of tyranny and pomposity, but politics and local interests were doubtless at the bottom of hostile criticism.
In 1913 an attempt was made to divide the district, and upon its failure, a House resolution was secured appointing a committee to visit Georgia and conduct an ex-parte investigation of Speer's conduct, as a basis for impeachment. His defense was superb; the record fills a pamphlet of 331 pages. Upon recommendation of the investigating committee, the proceedings were dropped for lack of evidence. During the thirty-three years of his incumbency Judge Speer wrote pioneer decisions in many cases involving the expansion of federal powers.
His opinions commanded respect not only for their lucidity and admirable marshaling of evidence, but for their literary excellence. They cover a wide range of cases, the most outstanding, United States vs. Greene and Gaynor (146 Federal Reporter, 803), being regarded as one of the greatest criminal trials ever conducted in a federal court.
His later decisions proved a valuable support to the government in upholding vital statutes evoked by the World War. Speer was dean of the Law School of Mercer University from 1893; in 1897 he published Lectures on the Constitution of the United States. His addresses on public occasions revealed his talents at their best, and were in constant demand; some of these were published under the title Lincoln, Lee, Grant and Other Biographical Addresses (1909).
From 1877 to 1885 he served as alumni trustee of the University of Georgia.
He began practice in Athens, removed to Atlanta in 1883, and in 1887 to Macon, where he established an attractive home, "The Cedars, " identified with the rest of his life. He died in 1918.

Connections
He was twice married; his first wife, Sallie Dearing of Athens, died while he was a member of Congress, leaving him with five small daughters, all of whom grew up, married, and survived him. While still in Congress and in his early thirties he married Eleanora D. Morgan, daughter of Dr. James E. Morgan of Washington.
