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
