December 16, 2009. 
Whereas the United States Supreme Court has played a fun-
damental role in interpreting the Nation’s laws; 
Whereas Louis D. Brandeis, born in Louisville, Kentucky, on 
November 13, 1856, led a selfless career as a practicing 
lawyer helping to create the pro bono tradition in the 
United States through his devotion to public causes, be-
coming known as the ‘‘people’s lawyer’’ for challenging 
the power of railroad, bank, and insurance company mo-
nopolies; 
Whereas Justice Brandeis was nominated an Associate Jus-
tice of the Supreme Court by appointment of President 
Woodrow Wilson and confirmed by the United States 
Senate in 1916 as the first Jewish Justice of the Su-
preme Court; 
Whereas Justice Brandeis vastly contributed to constitutional 
jurisprudence, particularly in the areas of free speech, 
right to privacy, labor relations, and women’s suffrage; 
Whereas through the marshalling of evidence and develop-
ment of the doctrine of judicial notice, Justice Brandeis 
concerned himself as a citizen, attorney, and Justice of 
the Supreme Court with the power and role of education 
in the Nation’s democracy;
•HRES 905 EH 
Whereas Justice Brandeis supported the University of Louis-
ville and its law school (named the Louis D. Brandeis 
School of Law in 1997) by contributing funding and his 
personal papers and ensuring that the law school library 
received Supreme Court briefs for its archives; 
Whereas Justice Brandeis provided the role model for public 
service which served as the inspiration for the University 
of Louisville adopting a public service requirement for all 
students; 
Whereas Justice Brandeis resigned from the Supreme Court 
70 years ago in 1939; and 
Whereas, to this day, schools, universities, the United States 
Postal Service, and other institutions remember the name 
of Justice Brandeis and commemorate his service: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the 70th anniversary of Justice Louis 
D. Brandeis’s retirement from the United States Su-
preme Court and the significant contribution he made in 
United States Supreme Court jurisprudence; and 
(2) directs the Clerk of the House of Representa-
