Louis D. Brandeis School of Law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Louis D. Brandeis School of Law is the law school of the University of Louisville. Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis, who served on the Supreme Court of the United States, was the school's patron, and he bequeathed his papers to the school. The cremated remains of Justice Brandeis and his wife Alice Goldmark Brandeis rest under the front portico of the law school. The school is one of few Supreme Court repositories in the nation.

Jim Chen is the current Dean of the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville.
