Thomas Stephen Eisenstadt (born May 21, 1936) was sheriff of Suffolk County, Massachusetts from 1969 to 1977,[1] during which time he was the captioned plaintiff in Eisenstadt v. Baird (1972), a landmark United State Supreme Court decision on contraception.[2]
Elected to the Boston School Committee in 1965, Eisenstadt was strong supporter of desegregation efforts.
In March 2015, Eisenstadt was indefinitely suspended from practicing law in Massachusetts. The Board of Bar Overseers found he misused client's settlement money. [3]
