  • Samuel Hamilton Buskirk (born New Albany, Indiana, January 19, 1820; died Indianapolis, Indiana, April 3, 1879) was a lawyer, politician, and justice of the Indiana Supreme Court. Buskirk graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 1841. After serving as Monroe County recorder (1844-5), he began practicing law in 1845.

During his time on the Supreme Court he wrote Buskirk's Practice (1876), a manual of Supreme Court practice. Buskirk wrote the opinion in the 1874 case Cory v. Carter, which upheld the principle of separate but equal in Indiana schools. It was one of the precedents cited in the United States Supreme Court's 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision. Samuel Buskirk's younger brother George Abraham Buskirk (1829–1874) was also a lawyer; his brother helped him study law. He served as a district judge and as a state representative in Indiana, and was also elected Speaker of the House, in 1869. Another younger brother, Edward C. Buskirk (1833-1900), was also a lawyer and a Marion County criminal judge. Edward was also the (unsuccessful) Democratic candidate for mayor in Indianapolis in 1879. (en)
