Yeah, but it is self-explanatory?

M-W's Dicty of Law (at least the first edition) does have an entry for 
it, as well as entries for "equal protection clause" and "equal 
protection under the law".

On a related tangent I saw that Oxford is working on a Dictionary of 
AAVE and, frankly, I'm torn: Yay, if it helps de-stigmatize the variety, 
but also, y'all are Brits: keep to your own shore.
