Edward Kent, Jr.
(August 8, 1862 – July 30, 1916) was an American jurist and the final Chief Justice of the Arizona Territorial Supreme Court.
He began his legal career in New York City and worked there for several years before health concerns caused him to move to Denver, Colorado.
After serving briefly as an Assistant United States Attorney, Kent was appointed to the Arizona Territorial bench.
His most influential decision came in 1910 when he determined the water rights for roughly 5,000 land owners in the Salt River Valley.
