Judah was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada for Champlain in an 1843 by-election held after his father-in-law was named to the Legislative Council. He was named Queen's Counsel in 1854. He helped found the Montreal City and District Savings Bank (now the Laurentian Bank of Canada) and later served as its president. Judah also helped promote the Montreal and Bytown Railway. Judah died at Montreal in 1883.
