Definition
- Muller v. Oregon (1906) is widely considered the earliest instance in which the Supreme Court used social science research to support its conclusions. In upholding the constitutionality of legislation that limited the number of hours women could work, the Court drew extensively from Louis Brandeis 's brief, which reviewed social science and medical research to argue that long working hours had a negative effect on women's health.
