Sir Frederick Low KC (born 21 November 1856, died 4 September 1917)[1] was an English lawyer, judge[2] and Liberal Party politician.
Low was educated privately and at Westminster School.[3] He qualified as a solicitor in 1878, and was called to the bar in 1890, practising on the South-Eastern Circuit and becoming an authority on local government and licensing.[3] He became a King's Counsel in 1902,[4] and became recorder of Ipswich in 1906.[5] He was knighted in 1909.[6]
At the 1900 general election, Low unsuccessfully contested Salisbury,[7] and he was unsuccessful again when he contested Clapham in 1906.[8] He won a seat on his third attempt, when he was elected at the January 1910 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament (MPs) for Norwich.[9] He was re-elected in December 1910,[10] and held the seat until January 1915, when he was appointed as a Judge of the King's Bench division of the High Court.[11][12]
