Clarence Seward Darrow (A857-1938) was an American defense lawyer who handled high-profile cases for the [[American Civil Liberties Union]] and others.

Darrow's most famous defense, which was only successful to extent he avoided the [[death penalty]] for his clients, was defending in 1924 teenagers Leopold and Loeb after they murdered the younger 14-year-old Bobby Franks in what may have been a sexual assault. Leopold and Loeb were children of wealthy and prominent parents.

Darrow was also unsuccessful in defending [[John Scopes]] in the so-called [[Monkey Trial]] in 1925.
