John H. Dimond
John Henry Dimond was an American jurist who served as a justice of the Supreme Court of Alaska from August 1959 to November 30, 1971. Born in Valdez, Alaska, he was the only son of Anthony Dimond, and was briefly in private practice with his father prior to his death. The state courthouse in his adopted hometown of Juneau, Alaska, located across the street from the Alaska State Capitol, is named in his honor.
Dimond was appointed to the state supreme court by Governor William A. Egan. His law clerks included future Alaska Chief Justice Walter L. Carpeneti. After his retirement from the court, Dimond continued to sit from time to time as a senior justice until his death, in Seattle, Washington.
