Angellotti was born in San Rafael, California, son of Giuseppe and Lois Frances (Osgood) Angellotti.[1] His father was an Italian merchant and land owner of Marin County, California, from 1852 until his death. His mother was descended from Christopher Osgood, who came from Marlborough, England, on the ship Mary and John in 1633 and settled at Ipswich, Massachusetts. He attended private schools in San Rafael and was educated at Boys High School in San Francisco. He graduated from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1882 with the degree of LL.B.;[2][3] was admitted to the California bar in the same year, and established a successful practice in San Rafael.
He was district attorney for Marin County during 1885 to 1891.[4][5] In 1891, he became judge of the superior court for a term of twelve years.[6][1] He was associate justice of the Supreme Court of California during December 11, 1902, to January 4, 1915, serving in Department One with justices Lucien Shaw and Walter Van Dyke, later replaced by M. C. Sloss.[1] In November 1914, Angellotti ran successfully for chief justice to replace retiring William H. Beatty, and held the post from January 5, 1915, to November 15, 1921.[7][8][9] His notable cases include In re Terui (1921), and In re Kotta (1921), in which he wrote the opinion striking down the alien poll tax adopted in the previous session of the California legislature.[10][11][12]
