Louis Dembitz Brandeis

    Louis D. Brandeis was een Amerikaanse advocaat en progressieve sociaal hervormer, geprezen als de "Advocaat van het Volk" vanwege zijn pro bono publieke dienstverlening. Zijn werk aan progressieve sociale zaken pionierde het concept van het "recht op privacy" en voedde zijn strijd tegen machtige bedrijven en monopolies, die hij schadelijk achtte voor Amerikaanse waarden. Brandeis verdedigde met kracht de vrijheid van meningsuiting en privacyrechten, en zette daarmee belangrijke precedenten in het juridische veld.
