Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court has established intermediate scrutiny as the standard for gender discrimination cases, which requires that the challenged law or policy serve an important government interest and be substantially related to achieving that interest. This is a higher standard than rational basis review, which applies to most other types of discrimination cases, but not as strict as the standard of strict scrutiny, which applies to cases involving suspect classifications such as race or national origin.
