Clarence Darrow, America’s most hated and celebrated attorney, comes to life in San José on October 14
Don’t miss Clarence Darrow: The Search for Justice
at 2 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. on October 14, 2006
at First Unitarian Church of San José
On October 14, a unique event will bring American social justice history to life, and show us how the social and political issues of our nation’s most famous—and infamous—lawyer still resonate in our lives today.
Clarence Darrow: The Search for Justice will be performed by Gary L. Anderson, the country’s renowned portrayer of Clarence Darrow. The Eureka Times Standard says of his performance, “Anderson’s Darrow is in the same league as Holbrook’s Mark Twain.”
The most hated and celebrated attorney in American history
Clarence Darrow (1857-1938) was often referred to by the press as the “Attorney for the Damned” and by lawyers as the “Lion of the Courtroom”. The Christian Fundamentalists, however, called him, “The Great Infidel.” Life Magazine called Darrow “One of the most influential men of the 20th century.” He has become a folk hero, and, along with Atticus Finch from the novel and movie To Kill a Mockingbird, he has been the inspiration of untold numbers of lawyers.
