Walter Chadwick Noyes was born on August 8, 1865 in Lyme, Connecticut, United States. He was the sixth lineal descendant of the Reverend Moses Noyes to own and occupy the lands set apart to the Reverend Noyes as the minister in charge of the church established by the first settlers of the town of Old Lyme. He was a grand-nephew of Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite.
After attending private schools Noyes went to Cornell University for a year (1884 - 85) and then entered upon the study of law in the office of Samuel Parks in New London, Connecticut. He studied also in the office of Judge Augustus Brandegee, one of the leading lawyers and political leaders of the state.
After his admission to the bar Noyes practised in New London for many years in association with Judge Brandegee and his son, Frank B. Brandegee, in the firm of Brandegee, Noyes & Brandegee.
In 1895 Noyes became judge of the court of common pleas of New London County, a post which he held for twelve years. In 1904 he became president of the New London Northern Railroad Company. In 1907 he was appointed by President Roosevelt as United States circuit judge of the second judicial circuit. This made him a member ex officio of the United States circuit court of appeals in New York.
Noyes resumed private practice in New York City where he at once assumed a position of importance at the bar. His practice was largely corporate in character and was highly lucrative. It included much business which brought him before the United States Supreme Court.
He served as chairman of the Connecticut corporation which operated the street and interurban railways of the state from 1914 until they were returned to the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad in 1925.
In 1909-10 he served as a representative of the United States at the third international conference on maritime law at Brussels at which two treaties were negotiated. He published two legal works: A Treatise on the Law of Intercorporate Relations (1902, 1909) and American Railroad Rates (1905).
He always maintained the ancestral home in Lyme, Connecticut, as a country residence, although after his appointment to the federal bench it ceased to be the main family residence. It was known as "Indian Rock Farms. "
During his tenure of the federal bench Noyes participated in many important cases. These included a number of cases in patent law in which he became expert. He also participated in the famous Patten cotton corner case as well as in the proceedings against the American Tobacco Company. In 1913 Noyes drew nation-wide attention to himself by resigning from the bench with the statement that his judicial salary of $7, 000 was too low for the comfortable maintenence of his family and the education of his children. Among his more notable cases in the United States Supreme Court was that of The Kronprinzessin Cecilie, in which he successfully argued that the abandonment of a voyage in reasonable anticipation of war did not entitle shippers to damage for breach of contract. He became general counsel for the Delaware & Hudson Company and he was peculiarly successful in the administration of important receiverships assigned to him.
