• Racial Adjudication

Although the Court has established that legislative national-origin classification is suspect and subject to strict scrutiny, the Court has yet to articulate a comprehensive method of analysis reflecting national origin-based discrimination in the United States. Equal protection challenges to the categorization of Latinos in affirm...
