IntroductionEquality is a key area of importance with strong historical roots. State and federal laws guarantee equal protection and due process. These laws are interpreted by the courts. Tracking these laws and interpretation changes over time is important to developing an understanding of the evolution and to anticipate the future direction in these areas. Substantive due process, procedural due process, and equal protection impact criminal justice practitioners on a daily basis, in all facets of the system.
