Clarence Seward Darrow (/ˈdæroʊ/; April 18, 1857 – March 13, 1938) was an American lawyer who became famous in the 19th century for high profile representations of trade union causes, and in the 20th century for several criminal matters, including the Leopold and Loeb murder trial, the Scopes "monkey" trial, and the Ossian Sweet defense. He was a leading member of the American Civil Liberties Union and a prominent advocate for Georgist economic reform. Darrow was also well known as a public speaker, debater, and writer.[1] He is considered by some legal analysts and lawyers to be the greatest lawyer of the 20th century.[2][3][4] He was posthumously inducted into the Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame.[5]
Called a "sophisticated country lawyer",[6] Darrow's wit and eloquence made him one of the most prominent attorneys and civil libertarians in the nation.[7]
