The Most Famous lawyers In History 1. Gandhi Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi has to be one of the most famous lawyers that really did change the world in his own way, as well as changing the way people think. He was a major spiritual leader and Politian in India and had differing ideologies to many other famous lawyers. He started and lead many movements in a peaceful manner, including Satyagraha, which is a philosophy that is centred on truth and ‘resistance to evil through active, non-violent resistance’. This action and set of ideals led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. 2. Nelson Mandela Another iconic figure who was not only a famous lawyer but an individual that changed the world is Nelson Mandela. This Nobel Peace Prize winner and former President of South Africa was the only black student in his law faculty. Mandela, one of the most famous lawyers in history, had his own law practice helping apartheid victims but that’s not what he is known for. He is famously known for leading a country in the most peaceful of manners into democracy and freedom after being jailed for most of his life. These two men were two of the most famous lawyers in history that really changed the world and made it a better place.
