The Court finally began supporting more progressive, labor-oriented legislation in 1937. West Coast Hotel v. Parrish, (1937) is considered the Court's turning point (or point of surrender).Due to the death or retirement of eight justices, Roosevelt managed to construct a new, liberal court between 1937 and 1941. These justices were more favorable toward his administration's "radical" labor and economic policies.
