Brandeis's ownership of this title, a list of internal and external acts relating to railroad administration from 1917-1918, typifies the deep and broad legal research made famous by the Brandeis brief. Railroad administration was a hot-button issue of the early twentieth century, touching on various aspects of the federal government's commercial and military authority. It was also a topic close to Brandeis's heart after his successful actions against J.P. Morgan's New Haven railroad monopoly in 1914.
