AdministrativeLaw DueProcess
Whether pursuing a legal vocation completely prohibited by state law for a demographic group is a fundamental right under the Fourteenth Amendment, and whether strict scrutiny applies when a non-suspect class challenges such a prohibitive law
1. Whether pursuing a legal vocation that is completely prohibited by state law for a demographic group is a fundamental right under the Fourteenth Amendment. 2. When a state recognizes a legal vocation, but later enacts a law that completely prohibits an identified non-suspect demographic class from pursuing that prescribed occupation while allowing others to continue engaging in the occupation, whether strict scrutiny review applies when the non-suspect class challenges the constitutionality of the prohibitive law under the Fourteenth Amendment rather than the rational basis test, as the Eighth Circuit proclaimed.
