Louis Brandeis was born in 1856. He graduated from Harvard Law
School in 1877 and became a lawyer. He became an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court in 1916 and served there until
1939.  He constantly argued against financial and industrial
monopoly and was a driving force in Woodrow Wilson's doctrine of
New Freedom. His Brandeis Brief revolutionized the way that law
is practiced.  When he was appointed by Wilson in 1916, there
was fierce opposition from anti-semites since Brandeis would
become the first jewish Supreme Court justice.  He frequently
dissented from the majority with his friend, Oliver Wendell
Holmes. He was admired by many, sometimes referred to as the
"people's attorney" for fighting against big business.  Brandeis
University is named after him. His writings include Other
People's Money, and Business, a Profession. For more of his
