Robert Witherspoon Hemphill (1915-1983) was a federal judge on the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, and also for the Western and Eastern Districts of South Carolina, before those were combined.[1]
Hawkins was nominated simultaneously to the Eastern and Western Districts of South Carolina by President Lyndon Johnson on April 15, 1964, to a seat vacated by George Timmerman; he was confirmed by the Senate on April 30, 1964, and received commission that same day. He served both these courts until they were combined into the District of South Carolina on November 1, 1965. At that time, he was reassigned to the unified District, on which he served as chief judge from 1979 until assuming senior status on May 10, 1980. He served the District of South Carolina until his death on December 25, 1983.[1]
