Graduated from Cornell law degree in 1894.
Moreland represented Chemung County in the NY State from 1903 to 1907, serving as majority leader in his final two years.
In 1907, Moreland worked with Gov. Charles Evans Hughes, his former law professor, on a new law that gave the Governor broad powers to establish "Moreland Commissions" to investigate state departments and institutions as well as local governments. The law also gives the governor subpoena power, enabling him to question witnesses under oath. The power to investigate was formerly delegated only to the State Legislature.
Following his state service, Moreland was appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt to the Filipino Supreme Court in early 1909.
He left the Philippines in 1918 and accepted a commission as a major in the Army's Judge Advocate General's office in Washington, DC. In 1925, Moreland directed the Army's court martial against Colonel Billy Mitchell. He retired from the Army in 1929, and returned home to practice law until the mid-1940s.
