Louis Brandeis

Louis Brandeis (1856-1941) was an influential American lawyer and associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1916 to 1939. Known as the 'People's Attorney,' Brandeis was a strong proponent of privacy rights and social justice, famously dissenting in cases such as Olmstead v. United States, where he argued for the protection of privacy under the Fourth Amendment. His progressive views and advocacy for economic reform made significant contributions to American jurisprudence, and his dissents often laid the groundwork for future majority opinions.
