Charles Rembar (March 12, 1915 – October

24, 2000) was an American lawyer who

was born in Oceanport, New Jersey and

grew up in Long Branch, New Jersey.

He graduated from Harvard University with a

bachelor's degree in 1935 and received his law degree from Columbia Law School in

1938. He worked for several New Deal agencies after graduating from

law school and then served in the United States Army Air Corps

during World War II, after which he moved back to the New York area,

living in Scarsdale and working in Manhattan. Rembar was best known as a First Amendment rights lawyer. In 1959, Grove Press published an unexpurgated version of Lady Chatterley's Lover

by D. H. Lawrence. The U.S. Post Office

confiscated copies sent through the mail.[3] Rembar, working for Grove Press, sued the New York city

postmaster and won in New York and then on federal appeal. Subsequently, he

defended Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer and John Cleland's Fanny Hill – the latter argued before the U.S. Supreme Court –

which played a major role in changing the nation's approach to obscenity.

1968, he published a book documenting the trials called The End of

Obscenity: The Trials of Lady Chatterley, Tropic of Cancer and Fanny Hill,

which won a George Polk Award in

journalism. In 1975, he published a collection of wide-ranging essays titled Perspective.

In 1980 he wrote The Law of the Land: The Evolution of Our Legal System,

a general history of the evolution of Anglo-American law, written for the non-lawyer and

non-historian. Rembar founded the law firm

of Rembar & Curtis, which represented writers such as Louise Erdrich, Tom Clancy, Herman Wouk, and Norman Mailer, both as lawyers and often as literary agents as

well.
