Adkins v. Children's Hospital

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia


In the case of Adkins v. Children's Hospital (261 U.S. 525), the Supreme Court of the United States ruled minimum wage legislation an unconstitutional infringement of liberty of contract (April 9, 1923). The ruling was overturned in 1937 in the case of West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish.
