Due process intake that flags missing notice or hearing
The intake asks whether a government agency made a major decision about the prospective client's rights, whether they were denied notice or a hearing before it became final, and whether they were treated differently because of a protected characteristic, while collecting the decision letter or notice up front.

What a qualified due process and equal protection lead should tell you
Claims that a government agency, official, or institution made a significant decision about someone's rights or status without fair notice and a chance to respond, or treated them worse than similarly situated people because of a protected characteristic.

The questions your team needs answered
Every due process and equal protection intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Did a government agency, public school, police department, court, jail/prison, or other government worker take action against you (or fail to act) in a way that harmed you? | A no answer here signals the dispute may involve a private party rather than a government actor, which is a threshold problem for any due process or equal protection claim. |
| Did this involve a major decision about your rights or status (for example, arrest/detention, suspension/expulsion, loss of benefits, eviction from public housing, license denial, or a court order)? | Confirms the government action was a major decision about rights or status rather than a minor administrative inconvenience that wouldn't support a viable claim. |
| Before the government action became final, were you denied a fair chance to know the reasons and respond (for example, no notice, no hearing, no meaningful appeal, or no chance to present your side)? | Directly captures the procedural due process defect, whether notice, a hearing, or a meaningful chance to respond was missing before the decision became final. |
| Do you believe you were treated worse than similarly situated people because of who you are (such as race, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy)? | Isolates the equal protection theory by asking whether the treatment differed because of a protected characteristic, distinct from any procedural defect. |
| Can you identify the government office or public employee involved (or the agency responsible), even if you do not know every name? | Even a partial identification of the agency or employee involved makes the claim easier to investigate and route correctly. |
| Did this happen within the last 2 years (or is it still ongoing)? | Flags whether the incident is recent or ongoing, which affects how urgently the matter should be reviewed given limitations concerns. |
| Did you suffer real harm because of it (such as time in custody, loss of school or job opportunities, loss of benefits or housing, financial loss, or significant emotional distress)? | Confirms there was concrete harm, such as lost custody time, benefits, housing, income, or significant distress, which a claim needs to be worth pursuing. |

Built for due process and equal protection workflows
| Cliont capability | Due Process And Equal Protection application |
|---|---|
| Weighted qualification scoring | Weighs the state-action question (government agency or worker involved) heaviest, so disputes with private parties or businesses score low before they reach a consultation slot. |
| Branch-specific answer capture | Keeps the denied-notice-or-hearing answer and the treated-worse-because-of-who-you-are answer as separate data points, so you can see at a glance whether this reads as procedural due process, equal protection, or both. |
| Document collection | Requests the decision letter, suspension or expulsion notice, or benefits termination notice tied to the major-decision question, so you have the paper trail before the call. |
| Timeliness flagging | Surfaces whether the incident happened within the last two years or is ongoing, helping your team spot matters that need a faster look. |
Common due process and equal protection lead scenarios
Student expelled without a hearing
A public school suspended or expelled a student without notice or a chance to respond, and the family believes the decision also targeted their child's disability. Both the missing-hearing and unequal-treatment answers push this toward the top of the queue.
Benefits terminated with no notice
A government agency cut off public housing or benefits without explaining why or offering an appeal. The intake captures which agency was involved and whether the loss caused financial harm, separate from any discrimination claim.
License denial tied to protected class
A licensing board denied or revoked a professional license, and the applicant believes similarly situated applicants outside their protected class were treated better. This activates the equal-protection signal even where notice and a hearing were technically provided.
Old jail disciplinary complaint
A person wants to raise a due process issue from a disciplinary hearing that happened more than two years ago. The timing answer flags this differently from an ongoing or recent matter, prompting a faster read on viability before scheduling time.
Minor paperwork dispute, no real stakes
A prospective client describes a government worker being slow or unhelpful but no major decision about rights or status, no denied hearing, and no lasting harm. The combination of low answers keeps this from reading as a strong claim.

Due Process and Equal Protection lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake separate a procedural due process claim from an equal protection claim?
Yes. One set of answers isolates whether the prospective client was denied notice, a hearing, or a meaningful chance to respond, while a separate answer asks whether they believe they were treated worse than similarly situated people because of who they are, so you can see which theory (or both) is in play before the consultation.
What happens if the person can't name the exact government employee or office?
The intake only asks whether they can identify the government office, agency, or employee involved even loosely, so a lead isn't disqualified just because they don't know every name; it simply scores lower than a lead that already has that detail.
How does the intake handle claims against a private company instead of a government actor?
The first question specifically asks whether a government agency, public school, police department, court, jail or prison, or other government worker was involved. A no answer carries the lowest weight in the catalog, which surfaces disputes with private parties as weak fits for a state-action civil rights claim.
Does the intake check whether the claim is still within a reasonable time window?
It asks whether the underlying incident happened within the last two years or is still ongoing. That answer doesn't replace a statute-of-limitations review, but it does flag older matters so your team can prioritize accordingly.
What if the government action happened but nothing bad actually resulted?
There's a dedicated question on real harm, such as time in custody, lost opportunities, lost benefits or housing, financial loss, or significant emotional distress. Without harm, the lead still comes through but scores lower since a claim needs a concrete injury to move forward.
How does this intake relate to Section 1983 or Wrongful Arrest and False Imprisonment leads?
Due Process and Equal Protection sits alongside those sibling categories in the same civil rights library; a due process lead that also involves an arrest or detention will often overlap with Section 1983 or Wrongful Arrest and False Imprisonment fact patterns, so reviewing the specific action described in the intake still matters.
