Summary
The Florida Supreme Court released a ruling on April 26, 2001, regarding the level of legal scrutiny that should be applied to claims of gender discrimination. The ruling established that any explicitly guaranteed right must be given strict scrutiny, which is the highest level of constitutional protection. As a result, the 5th DCA is urged to send the Topfree 10 case back to the trial court with instructions to apply strict scrutiny to the issue of female equality.
