Justice Brandeis was appointed by Woodrow Wilson to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1916 (sworn-in on June 5), and served until 1939. Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28 1856—February 3 1924 was the twenty-eighth President of the United States. The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States and leads the federal judiciary. Many were surprised that Wilson, the son of a Christian minister, would appoint to the highest court in the land the first Jewish Supreme Court Justice in United States history. PLEASE TAKE NOTE************

Besides his educational record, Brandeis had for some years been a contributor to the progressive wing of the United States Democratic Party, and had published a noted book in support of competition rather than monopoly in business. Progressivism is a term that refers to a broad school of international social and political philosophies. The Democratic Party is one of two major Political parties in the United States, the other being the Republican Party. President Wilson, who believed deeply that government must be a moral force for good, responded to similar sentiments in the thought and writings of Brandeis.

Brandeis University, a private university founded in 1948 and located in Waltham, Massachusetts, was named after him. Brandeis University is a private research University with a Liberal arts focus located in Waltham Massachusetts, United States. One of the early centers of the Industrial Revolution in northern America Waltham is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States

The University of Louisville's law school, where Brandeis is buried, is named for him (the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law), and his papers are archived in the school's library. The University of Louisville (also known as U of L) is a public University in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The Louis D Brandeis School of Law is the Law school of the University of Louisville. In 2006, Louisville celebrated the 150th anniversary of Brandeis's birth. In celebration, a three-story tall canvas portrait of Brandeis adorns an office building on Liberty Street in Louisville.

He was the brother-in-law of Charles Nagel, the last United States Secretary of Commerce and Labor. Charles Nagel ( August 9, 1849 &ndash January 5, 1940) was a United States politician and lawyer from St The United States Secretary of Commerce and Labor was the head of the short-lived United States Department of Commerce and Labor, which was concerned with Business

Early life

Louis Brandeis lived on Court Street in Dedham, Massachusetts with his family. He is shown here building a play house for his daughters.

Brandeis was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1856. His family had immigrated to the United States from Prague following the failed revolution of 1848, settling in Louisville, where they soon developed a prosperous grain-merchandising business (though they suffered setbacks during the Long Depression of the 1870s). Prague (ˈprɑːg Praha (ˈpraɦa see also other names) is the Capital and Largest city of the Czech Republic. The European Revolutions of 1848, known in some countries as the Spring of Nations or the Year of Revolution, were a series of political upheavals throughout the European The Long Depression ( 1873 &ndash 1896) affected much of the world and was contemporary with the Second Industrial Revolution.

Brandeis graduated from the Louisville Male High School at age 14 with the highest honors. Established in 1856 Louisville Male is the oldest public high school west of the Alleghenies In 1872, in the midst of the Long Depression, Brandeis' family returned to Europe: after a period spent travelling with his family, he studied for two years at the Realgymnasium Annenschule in Dresden. The Gymnasium is the classical higher or secondary schools of Germany for gifted students Dresden (etymologically from Old Sorbian Drežďany, meaning people of the riverside forest, Drježdźany is the Capital city of the German Returning to the US in 1875, Brandeis entered Harvard Law School, graduating in 1877 not only at the head of his class but with the highest marks of any student to have attended the law school. Harvard Law School (also known as Harvard Law or HLS) is one of the professional Graduate schools of Harvard University.

He was admitted to the bar at the Old Court House in St. Louis, Missouri in 1878^[1] where practiced law briefly before returning to Boston, and, with his Harvard Law School classmate Samuel D. Warren (the son of a wealthy and well-connected Boston family) founded the law firm now known as Nutter McClennen & Fish. The Old Courthouse (officially called the Old St Louis County Courthouse) was a combination federal and state Courthouse in St Samuel Dennis Warren ( 1852 - February 20, 1910, Dedham Massachusetts) was a Boston attorney Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP is a prominent law firm in Boston, Massachusetts. The firm was able to take advantage of Warren's connections, while at the same time catering to prominent Jewish wholesalers. The firm was successful, garnering Brandeis financial security and allowing him to take an active role in progressive causes. He bought a house with his wife on Village Avenue in Dedham, Massachusetts in 1900. The house was near Dedham Square and the courthouse where Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were tried. For the Arlington Virginia neighborhood see Courthouse Virginia A courthouse (sometimes spelled court house) is a building Ferdinando Nicola Sacco (April 22 1891 – August 23 1927 and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (June 11 1888 – August 23 1927 were two Italian-born American laborers According to records at the Dedham Historical Society, during the trial Mrs. Sacco stayed in the Brandeis home, which was being leased, while he was in Washington.

Brandeis was a member of the Dedham Country and Polo Club and the Dedham Historical Society^[2] as well as a member of the the Society in Dedham for Apprehending Horse Thieves. The Society in Dedham for Apprehending Horse Thieves is "the oldest continually existing Horse thief apprehending organization in the United States, and ^[3] He wrote to his brother of the town saying: "Dedham is a spring of eternal youth for me. I feel newly made and ready to deny the existence of these grey hairs. "^[2]

The Brandeis Brief

In the 1908 Supreme Court case Muller v. Oregon, Brandeis, acting as a litigator, submitted a legal brief containing empirical data collected from hundreds of sources. Muller v Oregon,, was a landmark decision in United States Supreme Court history as it relates to both sex discrimination and labor laws In what became known as the "Brandeis Brief," he provided the Court with sociological information on the issue of the impact of long working hours on women. This was the first instance in the United States that social science had been used in law and changed the direction of the Supreme Court and of U. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the The social sciences comprise academic disciplines concerned with the study of the social life of human groups and individuals including Anthropology, Communication studies Law is a system of rules enforced through a set of Institutions used as an instrument to underpin civil obedience politics economics and society S. law. The Brandeis Brief became the model for future Supreme Court presentations.

Brandeis was always a staunch critic of controlled economies, which he considered inefficient and dangerous to American values. The development of the culture of the United States of America — music, cinema, dance, architecture, literature, poetry As a liberal Supreme Court justice in the New Deal era, Brandeis and a band of prominent admirers, including Felix Frankfurter, argued that central planning was inimical to American values and interests. Felix Frankfurter ( November 15, 1882 – February 22, 1965) was an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court

But many New Deal liberals disagreed. They favored central planning and wanted Washington to dictate to a few large corporations rather than thousands of small ones. Brain Truster Raymond Moley, for example, ridiculed the Brandeisian notion that "America could once more become a nation of small proprietors, of corner grocers and smithies under spreading chestnut trees. Raymond Moley (born 27 September 1886 in Berea Ohio - died 18 February 1975) was a leading New Dealer who became its bitter " In the end, the Brandeis view lost ground and central planners played major roles in the New Deal.

Supreme Court Justice

Overcoming significant opposition to his appointment (notably from ex-President William Howard Taft and the then Harvard University president A. Lawrence Lowell^[4]), Brandeis was confirmed to the Supreme Court on June 1, 1916, on a largely party-line 47-22 vote, with one Democrat opposed and three Republicans in favor. William Howard Taft (September 15 1857 – March 8 1930 was an American politician, the twenty-seventh President of the United States, the tenth Chief Justice Abbott Lawrence Lowell ( January 1, 1856 &ndash January 6, 1943) was a U ^[5] Brandeis learned of his confirmation riding the train home from his office in Boston to his house in Dedham; that night his wife greeted him as "Mr. Justice. "^[2] He would become one of the most influential and respected Supreme Court Justices in United States history. His votes and opinions envisioned the greater protections for individual rights and greater flexibility for government in economic regulation that would prevail in later courts.

In his widely cited dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. United States (1928), Brandeis argued, as he had in an influential law-review article prior to being nominated to the Court, that the Constitution protected a "right of privacy," calling it "the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men. Olmstead v United States, 277 US 438 (1928 is a 1928 opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court reviewed whether the use of wiretapped " Brandeis's position in Olmstead became the law of the land in Katz v. United States, of 1967, which overturned Olmstead. Katz v United States, 389 US 347 (1967 was a United States Supreme Court decision that extended the Fourth Amendment protection from unreasonable

Brandeis also joined with fellow justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in calling for greater Constitutional protection for speech, disagreeing with the Court's analysis in upholding a conviction for aiding the Communist Party in Whitney v. California (1927) (though concurring with the disposition of the case on technical grounds). Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr ( March 8, 1841 &ndash March 6, 1935) was an American Jurist who served on the Supreme Whitney v California, 274 US 357 ( 1927) was a United States Supreme Court decision upholding the conviction of an individual who had engaged Brandeis's opinion foreshadows the greater speech protections enforced by the Earl Warren Court. Earl Warren ( March 19, 1891 July 9, 1974) was the 14th Chief Justice of the United States and the only person ever elected thrice

Brandeis also opposed the Supreme Court's doctrine of "liberty of contract," which often acted to shield business from government regulation on the right of employers and employees to freely contract with each other, and argued that the Court should adopt a broader view of what constituted "commerce" which could be regulated by Congress, foreshadowing decisions such as 1941's United States v. Darby. Freedom of contract or contractualism is the idea that individuals should be free to bargain among themselves the terms of their own contracts without government interference This case is about the Commerce Clause. For the 1931 case about taxation of reduction of debt see United States v

During the 1932-1937 Supreme Court terms, Brandeis, along with Justices Cardozo and Stone, was a member of the Three Musketeers, which was considered to be the liberal faction of the Supreme Court. This page is about three liberal Supreme Court Justices For other uses see Three Musketeers. The three were highly supportive of President Roosevelt's New Deal programs, which most of the other Supreme Court Justices opposed. The New Deal was the name that United States President Franklin D In New State Ice Co. v. Leibmann (1932), Brandeis in dissent famously urged that the states should be able to be "laboratories" for innovative government action, in the face of the Supreme Court's frequent invalidation of state measures regulating business. Brandeis's views on "liberty of contract" would prevail in the long run, culminating in the seminal Supreme Court case of West Coast Hotel v. Parrish (1937). West Coast Hotel Co v Parrish, 300 US 379 (1937 was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that upheld the constitutionality of He was urging deference to legislative judgments when fundamental individual liberties are not seriously threatened and showing a healthy respect for the vertical (federal vs. states vs. individual) and horizontal (judicial vs. legislative) separations of power.

As an octogenarian, Brandeis was deeply offended by his friend Franklin Roosevelt's court-packing scheme of 1937, with its implication that elderly justices needed special help to carry out their duties. Ageing or aging (American English is the accumulation of changes in an organism The Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937, frequently called the Court-packing Bill, was a law proposed by United States President Franklin Roosevelt Brandeis retired from the Court in 1939, to be replaced by William O. Douglas. William Orville Douglas ( October 16, 1898 – January 19, 1980) was a United States Supreme Court Associate Justice.

Zionist leader

Brandeis also became a prominent American Zionist. History of Zionism|Timeline of Zionism|World Zionist Organization|Zionist political violence Zionism is an international political movement that originally supported the ^[6] Zionism was the movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Palestine is a name which has been widely used since Roman times to refer to the region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Not raised religious, Brandeis became involved in Zionism through a 1912 conversation with Jacob de Haas, editor of a Boston Jewish weekly and a follower of Theodore Herzl. Jacob de Haas (1872 &ndash 1937 was an UK Chassidic Jew, a journalist and an early leader of the Zionist movement Theodor Herzl (בנימין זאב הרצל ( Binyamin Ze'ev Herzl) (May 2 1860&ndashJuly 3 1904 was an Austrian Jewish journalist who founded modern Brandeis became active in the Federation of American Zionists as a result. With the outbreak of World War I, the Zionist movement's headquarters in Berlin became ineffectual, and American Jewry had to assume larger responsibility for the Zionist movement. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All Berlin is the capital city and one of sixteen states of Germany. When the Provisional Executive Committee for Zionist Affairs was established in New York, Brandeis accepted unanimous election to be its head. The City of New York In this position from 1914 to 1918, Brandeis was the leader of American Zionism. Brandeis embarked on a speaking tour in the fall and winter of 1914-1915 to support the Zionist cause. Brandeis emphasized the goal of self-determination and freedom for Jews through the development of a Jewish homeland in Palestine and the compatibility of Zionism and American patriotism. He expressed these views literarily in his short book, The Jewish Problem, How to Solve It.

Brandeis brought his influence in the Woodrow Wilson administration to bear in the negotiations leading up to the Balfour Declaration. Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28 1856—February 3 1924 was the twenty-eighth President of the United States. Balfour Declaration of 1917 (dated November 2 1917) was a Classified formal statement of Policy by the British government stating Brandeis split with the European branch of Zionism, led by Chaim Weizmann, and resigned a leadership role in 1921. Chaim Azriel Weizmann ( Hebrew: חיים עזריאל ויצמן – November 27, 1874 &ndash November 9, 1952) was a Zionist He retained membership, however, and remained active in Zionism until the end of his life.
