LOS ANGELES—A California law requiring increased membership by women on corporate boards is unconstitutional and violates the right to equal treatment, a Los Angeles judge ruled.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis issued her ruling on May 13, three months after she heard final arguments in a lengthy non-jury trial regarding Senate Bill (SB) 826 that began in December.
