Public Health Literacy for Lawyers	2007-01-24		.txt	text/plain	7696	388	51	Lochner, like most important Supreme Court cases, was about many things and many themes can be dissected the rise of the labor movement;t2 the Supreme Court majority's antipathy to progressive labor legi~lation;~~ and the struggle between courts and legislature^.^^ Legal scholars, however, seldom discuss the public health context, although the statute at issue was presented by the State of New York as a public health measure and bakeshop workers did experience numerous diseases, including a high prevalence of infectious tubercul~sis.~~ In fact, Justice Peckhani, writing for the majority of the Supreme Court, recognized that the statute would have been constitutional if it were indeed, truly, a public health measure.26 Thus, one of the key questions implicit in Lochnerwas the meaning of public health and whether worker protection issues could be seen as a valid concern for public health.27 Examined in this manner, Lochner provides an interesting insight into the contested nature of public health and the government's role in protecting it.	./cache/cord-345811-f0yt2a32.txt	./txt/cord-345811-f0yt2a32.txt
