Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're discussing the different standards of review a court will apply when dealing with questions of constitutionality. You may also hear these referred to as "levels of scrutiny."
In this episode we discuss:
- The three Constitutional Law levels of scrutiny and how courts apply each of them
- Fundamental rights under the Constitution
- Suspect and quasi-suspect classes of individuals
- The Due Process and Equal Protection clauses
- Analyzing two hypos involving the standards of review
