Equality before the law

Judicial principle

Equality before the law, known as equality under the law, equality in the eyes of the law, legal equality, or legal egalitarianism, is the principle that all people must be equally protected by the law. The principle requires a systematic rule of law that observes due process to provide equal justice and requires equal protection ensuring that no individual nor group of individuals is privileged over others by the law. Also called the principle of isonomy, it arises from various philosophical questions concerning equality, fairness and justice.
