Louis Dembitz Brandeis (1856-1941) was an eminent American lawyer and associate justice on the US Supreme Court from 1916 to 1939, remembered for his dedication to public welfare and the development of the doctrine of the right to privacy. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Brandeis graduated from Harvard Law School at the age of 20, with the highest grade average in the school's history at that time. His advocacy for progressive social policies and his stance against monopolies, large corporations, and mass consumerism distinguished him throughout his career. His book 'Other People's Money, and How the Bankers Use It' (1914) is a seminal work in the field of financial reform, critiquing the power and operations of big banks and advocating for the proper management of financial resources in the people's interest. Brandeis's impassioned and articulate prose elucidates his deep concern for economic equity and accountability, principles he carried into his tenure on the bench. His legal opinions and literary contributions elaborated a consistent philosophy of judicial restraint and respect for individual liberties. Brandeis's literary style is characterized by its clear, forceful argumentation, and by the directness with which he addressed the issues of his day, many of which, including concerns over concentrated economic power, remain relevant in the twenty-first century.

of the most dynamic uses of space (an under-the-staircase wine
cellar?) and the most incredible wine collections (20,000 bottles
owned by one person?)."
