Oregon 208 U. 412 ( 1908) was a landmark decision in United States Supreme Court history, as it relates to both sex discrimination and minimum wage laws. Background When Muller was decided, in 1908, there was no federal minimum wage law; such an, Brandeis collected empirical data from hundreds of sources. In what became known as the "Brandeis Brief", the report provided social authorities on the issue of impact of long working hours on women. This was the first instance in the United StatesThe United States of America also referred to as the United States U.

The Brandeis Brief became the model for future Supreme Court presentations.
Overcoming significant opposition to his appointment, Brandeis became one of the most influential and respected Supreme Court Justices in United States history. His votes and opinions envisioned the greater protections for individual rights and greater flexibility for government in economic regulation that would prevail in later courts. In his widely-cited dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. United States (1928), Brandeis argued, as he had in an influential law review article prior to being nominated to the Court that the Constitution protected a "right of privacy," calling it "the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men." Brandeis' position in Olmstead became the law of the land in 1967's Katz v. United States, which overturned Olmstead. Additionally, Brandeis joined with fellow justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.Oliver Wendell Holmes the younger, ( March 8, 1841 March 6, 1935) was an American jurist noted for his progressive decisions, often contrary to that of other judges of his time. He was called The Great Dissenter''. Holmes was born in Boston, the son of th in calling for greater Constitutional protection for speech, dissenting from the Court's upholding of a conviction for aiding the Communist Party in Whitney v. California (1927), a dissent that foreshadows the greater speech protections enforced by the Warren Court. Bradeis also vigorously opposed the Supreme Court's doctrine of "liberty of contract," which acted to shield business from government regulation on the basis of a fictional equality between employers and employees in making contracts. In New State Ice Co. v. Leibmann (1932), Brandeis in dissent famously urged that the states should be able to be "laboratories" for innovative government action, in the face of the Supreme Court's frequent invalidation of state measures regulating business. Here, too, Brandeis's views would prevail in the long run.
