Justice Jones was admitted to the Bar in 1896 and soon thereafter entered into partnership for the practice of law with the late Congressman and Speaker of the House of Representatives Henry T. Rainey, until 1914 when he was elected Circuit Judge in the Seventh Judicial Circuit to fill a vacancy. He was re-elected in 1915, 1921, and 1927 without opposition. In 1921 the Supreme Court assigned him to the Appellate Court of the Second District where he continued to serve until 1931.
