Maurice Timothy Dooling Jr. (November 13, 1889 – October 18, 1965) was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of California from June 30, 1960 to June 30, 1962.
Dooling Jr. was born in Hollister, California, to Ida M. K. Wagner and the senior Maurice Timothy Dooling, an attorney who would later become a United States federal judge, appointed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by President Woodrow Wilson. Dooling Jr. graduated from San Benito County High School. He entered the University of Santa Clara at the age of 16, graduating in 1909 with a B.A. and named as both the class treasurer and poet. He received a second B.A. from Stanford University in 1911, and a J.D. from the Stanford Law School in 1913, where he was one of the top students.
The Stanford Dean recommended that San Francisco city attorney George Lull hire Dooling, who then worked at the city attorney's office into the 1920s. In 1921, he successfully represented the city before the Supreme Court of the United States in a case concerning the city's power to remove an unpermitted house built in the 1906 fire zone. After leaving the city attorney, he began a private practice.
In 1928, Governor C. C. Young appointed Dooling as a superior court judge of San Benito County, a position his father had held. In December 1937, he upheld a union's right to picket in front of a business. In June 1940, after the outbreak of World War II, Governor Culbert Olson appointed Dooling as San Benito county chairman of recruiting for the armed forces, should America join the conflict.
