Darrow, Clarence Seward (1857–1938)

US lawyer, born in Ohio, a champion of liberal causes and defender of the underdog. He defended many trade-union leaders, including Eugene Debs 1894. He was counsel for the defence in the Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb murder trial in Chicago in 1924, and in the Scopes monkey trial. Darrow matched wits in the latter trial with prosecution attorney William Jennings Bryan. He was an opponent of capital punishment.
