Addressed to William Stewart. In full: "Dear Mr. Stewarte: Many
thanks for your generous birthday greeting. Cordially". In 1916, President
Woodrow Wilson appointed Louis Dembitz Brandeis (1856-1941) as Associate Justice
of the U.S. Supreme Court. Brandeis, the first Jewish Associate Justice,
established his reputation of handling cases involving social problems
during a year of legal practice in Boston, specialized in labor-management suits
and developed the Brandeis brief, still used as a legal reference. Brandeis'
support of President Wilson's theory of enforced business competition and his
crusade against monopolies led to the passage of the Federal Trade Commission
Act (1914) as well as Brandeis' appointment. Until his retirement in 1939 at the
age of 82, Brandeis continued to make his mark on the issues of labor,
competition, economics and social reform. Fold crease not near signature.
Lightly soiled. Fine condition.
