Benjamin Kaplan

Benjamin Kaplan is an influential American copyright scholar and jurist. As the Royall Professor of Law at Harvard University, he delivered a series of lectures at Columbia in 1966. The James S. Carpentier Lectures were then published in 1967 as "An Unhurried View of Copyright". [See [http://williampatry.blogspot.com/2005/12/augustine-birrell-and-benjamin-kaplan.html William Patry's Copyright blog discussion of the work] , Dec. 27, 2005.] Kaplan also served on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court from 1972-1981 and later on the Massachusetts Appeals Court.

Among Kaplan's students at Harvard were future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, whose views on copyright appear to have been influenced by those of Judge Kaplan. Among his former law clerks are the influential scholar Cass Sunstein and First Amendment attorney Marjorie Heins.

Kaplan was married to Felicia Lamport Kaplan (d. 1999), a political satirist and writer of light verse.
