The Supreme Court Historical Society hosts a discussion among authors and academics on the 1905 U.S. Supreme Court case Lochner v. New York. In the decision, the Court ruled a New York law limiting the number of hours a baker could work violated the Fourteenth Amendment’s guaranteed “liberty of contract.” The decision ushered in what’s know in legal history as the “Lochner Era,” with the Court striking down many state and federal regulations on working conditions over a three decade period. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer introduces this event. close
