The 1925 Scopes trial, also known as the Scopes Monkey Trial, centered on the legality of teaching evolution in public schools. John T. Scopes, a high school teacher, was charged with violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of evolution in favor of biblical creationism. The trial became a pivotal moment in the debate between modern science and religious fundamentalism, attracting national attention and showcasing the cultural clash of the era. It featured notable figures such as defense attorney Clarence Darrow and prosecutor William Jennings Bryan.
The Lawyer who won the trial was Attorney William Jennings Bryan. However it might be important to point out that the verdict was later overturned by the appellate court of Tennessee.Correction: Attorney Clarance Darrow was the lawyer who won the trial. Attorney William Jennings Bryan was council for the defense. The case was still overturned on appeal.Note: the Scopes trial was not "against evolution", it was against teaching evolution in any state funded school or university.
