Lochner v. New York, believe it or not, has never officially been overturned, and remains one of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions of all time. The case marked a shift in how the Court began to interpret laws that regulated working conditions. After this, the Court increasingly struck down both state and federal laws that regulated labor. More broadly speaking, this case marked the beginning of a period that lasted more than three decades in which the Court generally erred more on the side of individual freedom instead of government power. In fact, historians today even call this period the “Lochner Era.” Crazy enough, the Lochner Era overlapped with the Progressive Era, a time when reformers themselves worked overtime to get rid of social and economic injustice. These reformers viewed the Lochner decision as one that simply just favored employers over employees.
