William Dalison was a seventeenth century judge and law reporter. He was the second son of William Dalison of Lincolnshire, who was also in the legal profession. After following his father to Gray’s Inn in 1534, Dalison’s career began a rapid ascent. He was called to the bar by as early as 1537, and became a reader by 1548. As his career progressed he developed a reputation for being a being a very learned lawyer [1]. In October of 1552 he became a sarjeant at law, at which time he was still likely under the age of forty. In November of 1552 he was made a judge on the queen’s bench and was reappointed to that position after Mary I’s death in 1558. He served one more term before passing away in January of 1559. [2]
In addition to his legal duties, Dalison was elected representative of Lincoln county in the parliament in 1554 [3].
