Malcolm B. Montgomery

Malcolm Bailey Montgomery (June 26, 1891 – February 8, 1974) was a justice of the Supreme Court of Mississippi from 1948 to 1950.

Born in Yazoo County, Mississippi, Montgomery attended the public schools and received an undergraduate degree from Mississippi College, followed by a law degree from the University of Mississippi School of Law.

Chief Justice Smith died in July 1948. "The funeral was Monday, and on Wednesday, Governor Fielding Wright named Chancellor Montgomery to the vacancy". Lee won the primary, but Montgomery remained on the court until the expiration of Smith's term in 1950.

Following his service on the supreme court, Montgomery returned to the practice law, remaining in practice until his death, in Yazoo, at the age of 82.
