The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) hired Clarence Darrow to represent John T. Scopes in the famous Scopes "Monkey" Trial of 1925. Scopes was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of evolution in public schools. Darrow, a renowned defense attorney, argued for academic freedom and the separation of church and state during the trial, making it a landmark case in the debate over science and religion in education.
