Suspect Classification is a group that is likely to be discriminated against. These groups have more scrutiny by courts when an Equal Protection case suggesting unconstitutional discrimination is present against a law, or regulation. Strict Scrutiny is a set of standards that the Supreme Court uses to evaluate the government's interest against a constitutional right or principle.
