The Suspect Context: A New Suspect Classification Doctrine for the Mentally Handicapped

Abstract

This Note discusses the classification of the mentally handicapped as a suspect class for purposes of equal protection analysis. The author argues that the context of state action directed at the mentally disabled should be the factor that determines whether the court will invoke a rational basis or a higher standard of scrutiny.
