George Wright (1847 - 15 May 1913) was an Irish lawyer and judge. Wright was born in Clonakilty, County Cork, son of Thomas Wright. [1] His father and brothers practiced as solicitors in Clonakilty: of his brothers was H.T. Wright, Clerk of the Peace for Cork.[2] He married Mary Barrington in 1881. His family owned Fernhill House, Clonakilty, which is now a hotel. He was called to the Bar in 1871, took silk in 1884, and served as Solicitor-General for Ireland from January 1900[3] to 1903 in the Unionist government headed by Lord Salisbury. He was appointed to the Queen's Bench Division of the Irish High Court in 1903 where he served till his death.[4] He was immensely popular with his colleagues and greatly respected as a lawyer. A colleague humorously described him as a man who is "on the borderline of genius but never trespasses"; a popular verse hailed him as "Judge Wright, who's never wrong!"[5] Wright died 15 May 1913.[6] References1. ^Pike, W.T. editor Contemporary Biographies Richard Hodges Brighton. 1911 {{start box}}{{s-legal}}{{succession box|title=Solicitor-General for Ireland|years=1900–1903|before=Dunbar Barton|after=James Campbell}}{{end box}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Wright, George}}{{Ireland-law-bio-stub}}2. ^Pike Contemporary Biographies 3. ^{{Cite newspaper The Times |articlename= |day_of_week=Wednesday |date=24 January 1900 |page_number=9 |issue=36047|}} 4. ^Ball, F.
