Dodd, S(amuel) C(alvin) T(ate)

    0.03 sec.

Dodd, S(amuel) C(alvin) T(ate) (1836-1907)

US lawyer. Specializing in corporate law, he became the general solicitor for Standard Oil Company in New York City in 1881. He wrote several books, including Uses and Abuses of Combinations (1888) and History of Standard Oil (1888).

He was born in Franklin, Pennsylvania and was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1859, the year oil was discovered in the state. He proceeded to write a trust agreement for the nine trustees of the 40-some companies that made up Standard Oil. He then represented the company through two major court battles - the Ohio Supreme Court (1892) and the US Supreme Court (1911) - arguing against the government's antitrust concerns. In both cases the government prevailed.
