Walter Case (1776 – October 7, 1859) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

Life

Case was educated by private tutors, and then attended Newburgh Academy. He graduated from Union College in 1799. Then he studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1802, and commenced practice in Newburgh.

Case was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the 16th United States Congress, holding office from March 4, 1819, to March 3, 1821. Afterwards he resumed the practice of law. He was affiliated with the Whig Party after its formation.

He moved to New York City in 1844 and continued the practice of law until 1848, when he retired.

He was buried at the Fishkill Rural Cemetery.

gollark: I do vaguely feel this way about encryption and whatever - if people were trustworthy and nice™, we could save some amount of system resources and key distribution hassle and whatever. As it turns out, though, they aren't, so it isn't very relevant, and even if everyone suddenly did stop being antagonistic, this is a ridiculously unstable state.

gollark: What of the GTech™ contrasocietous chambers™?
