Description

The Louis Dembitz Brandeis Papers at the University of Louisville reflect the varied personal and professional interests of a Louisville native, Boston attorney, and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

The papers generated by the Justice fall within the years, 1870-1941. They include correspondence, drafts of speeches and publications, news clipping scrapbooks, reference files, pamphlets and reports, and legal documents. Family letters, the earliest dated 1810, and biographical sketches as recent as 1976, are also found. Brandeis' pre-court years as a reform-minded Boston attorney and his active role in the Zionist movement are extensively documented in the papers. While Brandeis was on the Supreme Court, he wrote most of his letters in long-hand and kept no copies. As a result, the correspondence between the years 1916 and 1941 is primarily incoming.
