Edgar Franklin S. Belaval (1910–1989) was an Attorney General of Puerto Rico and co-founder of the law firm Francis & Belaval. He presented several cases before the United States District Court of Appeals First Circuit, including a Second Amendment to the United States Constitution gun case in 1942. The 1942 case was the first lower court attempt to redefine Supreme Court decisions on the Second Amendment.[1]

Belaval graduated from the University of Virginia,[2] where he was a member of the lacrosse team in 1930 and 1931.[3]

Belaval's father, Joseph S. Belaval,[4] was president of the Puerto Rico Board of Health and a controversial advocate for sterilization and birth control.
