Stephen Dodd Law (June 25, 1820 – October 22, 1886) was an American lawyer and writer.
In July, 1848, he went to Washington, D. C, as Law-clerk in the office of the Solicitor of the Treasury; but in 1849 returned to New York, where he continued to practice law, making a specialty of patent cases, until the time of his death.
In 1852 he published a Treatise on the Jurisdiction of the United States Courts; in 1862, a Digest of all Cases decided in the American Courts in respect to Copyright, Patents for Inventions, and Trademarks; and in 1866, The Statute Laws of the United States respecting Copyrights and Patents for Inventions.
He gave much attention to the study of the works of Shakespeare, and wrote several articles on the plays and characters of that poet, some of which it is intended to publish.
His collection of books was quite large, and related mostly to editions of Shakespeare and works respecting that author.
