'''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, despite how his valueless approach to the law was ultimately rejected by nearly every modern jurist.  Holmes remains known for his elegant writing style and for some of his dissents, as in ''[[Lochner v. New York]]'', where Holmes' view did ultimately become the winning side after he had retired.

Holmes was heavily influenced by his belief in the [[theory of evolution]] and its "[[survival of the fittest]]" mentality, which caused Holmes to exclude any morality from his approach to the law.  The weak even became the object of ridicule by his writings towards the end of his career.
