Equal Protection For Illegitimate Children: The Supreme Court's Standard For Discrimination, Martha T. Zingo
Equal Protection For Illegitimate Children: The Supreme Court's Standard For Discrimination, Martha T. Zingo
Antioch Law Journal
Between 1968 and 1980 the Supreme Court decided twenty cases' involving statutory classifications based on illegitimacy. The Court's decisions have determined whether discrimination against those individuals deemed illegitimate by law2 constitutes a denial of equal protection.

The present meta-analytic study demonstrates that (a) the best estimate of the true population correlation between satisfaction and performance is relatively low (.17); (b) much of the variability in results obtained in previous research has been due to the use of small sample sizes, whereas unreliable measurement of the satisfaction and performance constructs has contributed relatively little to this observed variability in correlations; and (c) nine …
