Lead Counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and future US Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall's best-known case as a lawyer may have been Brown v. Board of Education, (1954), which he argued before the Court twice - in 1952 and 1953.
Marshall was not the only NAACP attorney working the consolidated cases of Brown v. Board of Education; some of the other well known attorneys included Spottswood Robinson, Oliver W. Hill, etc. Marshall argued before the US Supreme Court, however.
