Were Schmerber v. California and Muller v. Oregon decided in the same year?
Muller v. Oregon Muller v. Oregon, 208 U.S. 412 (1908) , was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court. It was used to justify both sex discrimination and usage of labor laws. The case upheld Oregon state restrictions on the working hours of women as justified by the special state interest in protecting women's health.
People v. Ireland People v. Ireland, 70 Cal.2d 522 (1969), was a case decided by the Supreme Court of California that first introduced the merger doctrine in that state.
