Landmark Cases: The Slaughterhouse Cases
1 hour, 34 minutesPaul Clement and Michael Ross talked about the 1873 Supreme Court ruling on the Slaughterhouse Cases, in which the court declined 5-4 to broadly apply the Fourteenth Amendment when New Orleans butchers unions objected to a slaughterhouse monopoly.

The guests also responded to viewer questions and comments. A video clip was shown of an interview with Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Patrick Leahy (D-VT). Video clips were shown from tours of the New Orleans riverbank; a Louisiana State Museum in New Orleans; the St. Bernard Parish riverbank; and the Justice Samuel Miller House in Keokuk, Iowa.

Landmark Cases: Supreme Court Landmark Case Lochner v. New York
1 hour, 36 minutesRandy Barnett and Paul Kens talked about the 1905 U.S. Supreme Court case Lochner v. New York in which the court voted 5-4 to strike down a state law restricting the number of hours that a baker could work. Instead the court held that the liberty to enter into contracts was protected by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. For more than two decades, the precedents set in this case favored employers in cases involving issues such as child labor laws and minimum wages. The guests also responded to viewer questions and comments. Video clips were shown from tours of a New York City bakery and the New York Assembly chamber and the New York Court of Appeals in Albany; an interview with John Brady, a great-grandson of litigant Joseph Lochner; a March 9, 1937, radio "fireside chat" by President Franklin D.
