'''Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.''' (1841-1935) served on the United States [[Supreme Court]] for over 30 years and is an icon in American law schools.  He is known for his elegant writing style and for dissenting from key decisions decades before the entire Court moved to his side of those issues.  For example, Holmes dissented from [[Lochner doctrine]] as established ''Lochner v. New York'' (1905), in which the Supreme Court invalidated an economic regulation by the state of New York.    Decades later the Supreme Court rightly came to agree with Holmes' side of the case.
