Clarence Darrow, America's most famous trial lawyer, defended the rights of sinners. The fact that he was no saint himself, just adds to his renown. In All Too Human: An Evening with Clarence Darrow, Henry Miller-a trial lawyer himself-explores (among others) 'The Scopes Monkey Trial' , where Darrow defended a teacher's right to teach the theory of evolution in a school in Tennessee; as well as the controversial trial of 'Leopold and Loeb'.
