Does the majority apply the rational basis test to a minor's equal protection claim?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mitchell P., In re, 151 Cal.Rptr. 330, 22 Cal.3d 946, 587 P.2d 1144 (Cal. 1978):
13 The majority apply the rational basis test, rather than a strict scrutiny analysis, to the minor's equal protection claim. Such a choice is dubious at best. (See, e. g., People v. Olivas, supra, 17 Cal.3d at p. 251, 131 Cal.Rptr. 55, 551 P.2d 375.)
