How have courts treated discrimination in the context of the test selection process?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Ireland, 33 Cal.App.4th 680, 39 Cal.Rptr.2d 870 (Cal. App. 1995):

[33 Cal.App.4th 696] Moreover, so long as persons in the same group are not discriminated against in the choice of tests to take, there is no denial of equal protection. " 'The unlawful administration by state officers of a state statute fair on its face, resulting in its unequal application to those who are entitled to be treated alike, is not a denial of equal protection unless there is shown to be present in it an element of intentional or purposeful discrimination.' " (Murgia v. Municipal Court (1975) 15 Cal.3d 286, 297, 124 Cal.Rptr. 204, 540 P.2d 44, citation omitted.)
