Clarence Seward Darrow was a U.S. lawyer, leading member of the American Civil Liberties Union, and prominent advocate for Georgist economic reform. He defended teenage thrill killers Leopold and Loeb in their trial for murdering 14-year-old Robert 'Bobby' Franks (1924). Some of his other cases included defending Ossian Sweet, and John T. Scopes in the Scopes 'Monkey' Trial (1925), in which he opposed William Jennings Bryan (statesman, orator, and three-time presidential candidate). Called a 'sophisticated country lawyer', his wit made him one of the most famous U.S. lawyers and civil libertarians.
