Farmington. [Chicago-1904]

Clarence Darrow was one of the most influential American lawyers of the 20th century, whose major cases reflected his deep commitment to social justice and civil rights. A Chicago native, he graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1894 and went on to fight for equality for all people, including African Americans and Japanese Americans. Celebrated as a great lawyer and champion of the underdog, Darrow is famous for his closing arguments in defense of John Scopes in the "monkey trial," and for representing the Leopold and Loeb defendants in a sensational 1924 murder trial.
