Equality And The Citizens Of Sister States, Douglas Laycock
Equality And The Citizens Of Sister States, Douglas Laycock
Florida State University Law Review
Professor Laycock's commentary is written in response to Lea Brilmayer's article in this edition. Brilmayer and Laycock agree that states owe equal treatment to citizens of sister states, and that the obligation does not extend to the exercise of government power. But Laycock would derive these rules from constitutional text and structural needs of the federal union. He think that Brilmayer's broader political theory is only marginally relevant to their shared conclusion.

Aids Discrimination Under Federal, State, And Local Law After Arline, Robert P. Wasson, Jr.
Florida State University Law Review
In School Board v. Arline, the United States Supreme Court determined that people who suffer from tuberculosis can be protected from employment discrimination by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Arline is certain to affect people afflicted with AIDS-related disorders who suffer discrimination. In this Article, Professor Wasson examines the Arline decision and the effect it will have on AIDS-related discrimination. Also, he examines provisions of the United States Constitution, acts of Congress, state law, and municipal ordinances, all of which might provide alternative measures of protection for those who suffer AIDS-related discrimination.
