Community And Fairness In Democratic Theory, Mark Tushnet
Florida State University Law Review
This commentary responds to an article by Lea Brilmayer in this edition. Professor Tushnet challenges Professor Brilmayer's assertion regarding democratic theory that the process theory of United States v. Carolene Products is irreconcilable with the interest theory which stems from conflict of law analysis.

Shaping And Sharing In Democratic Theory: Towards A Political Philosophy Of Interstate Equality, Lea Brilmayer
Shaping And Sharing In Democratic Theory: Towards A Political Philosophy Of Interstate Equality, Lea Brilmayer
Florida State University Law Review
Interstate cases pose most dramatically the question of the legitimacy of a state's exercise of coercive power. Professor Brilmayer analyzes two existing theories of interstate relations, rejects the notion that democratic theory requires that interstate equality need be an all-or-nothing issues, and suggests that the basis for a state' coercive power toward outsiders should be sharing the burdens and benefits of state law.
Asking The Right Questions, Lawrence C. George
Asking The Right Questions, Lawrence C. George
Florida State University Law Review
Professor George analyzes what he sees as Professor Brilmayer's major thesis: that neither modern choice of law nor equal protection principles provide a sound basis for jurisdictional doctrine. Concluding that she has failed to consider a possible Critical Legal Studies approach to the problems she poses, he suggests one.
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.

The Effect Of The Warranty Of Habitability On Low Income Housing: "Milking" And Class Violence, Duncan Kennedy
The Effect Of The Warranty Of Habitability On Low Income Housing: "Milking" And Class Violence, Duncan Kennedy
Florida State University Law Review
Housing for the poor suffers in quantity and quality as tenement landlords "milk" still viable buildings, allowing them to deteriorate and become uninhabitable at a rate that outstrips construction of new housing. As a result, the rate at which the poor filter up into higher quality buildings slows, crowding low income tenants into fewer, more run down buildings. Professor Kennedy postulate that selective enforcement of a warranty of habitability can maximize the useful lives of tenement buildings, and, contrary to the "mainstream" view, exert downward pressure on rents while increasing the supply of low income housing.

Don't Take It Personally - Limited Liability For Attorney Shareholders Under Florida's Professional Service Corporation Act, James M. Grippando
Don't Take It Personally - Limited Liability For Attorney Shareholders Under Florida's Professional Service Corporation Act, James M. Grippando
Florida State University Law Review
Multimillion dollar lawsuits and rising malpractice insurance premiums have heightened professional interest in limited liability. In this Article, James M. Grippando examines limited liability as it applies to Florida professional service corporations with attorney shareholders. Grippando provides a detailed analysis of the Florida Professional Services Corporation Act and the court decisions construing it. He concludes that the Act as written provides limited liability for professionals in general and discusses public policy considerations courts have weighed and should weigh in determining whether attorneys in particular should enjoy limited liability.
Aids Discrimination Under Federal, State, And Local Law After Arline, Robert P. Wasson, Jr.
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.
Unfreezing Legal Reality: Critical Approaches To Law, Robert W. Gordon
Unfreezing Legal Reality: Critical Approaches To Law, Robert W. Gordon
Florida State University Law Review
Critical Legal Studies continues to flourish despite persistent criticism concerning its goals and aims. In the lecture reproduced below, Professor Gordon demonstrates why such global criticism is not only harmless but irrelevant to the central message of the movement. Borrowing from the growing body of CLS scholarship, he illustrates, through example, that the most valuable contributions of CLS are essentially local in nature. But these predominantly local critiques, he explains, can be readily extended to new areas in order to destory [sic] the seemingly necessary connection the seemingly necessary connection between the way our law is and the …

Constitutional Stumbling Blocks To Legislative Tort Reform, Kenneth Vinson
Constitutional Stumbling Blocks To Legislative Tort Reform, Kenneth Vinson
Florida State University Law Review
Recent attempts by state legislators to reform the tort system have frequently been struck down by the courts on constitutional grounds. In this light, the author reviews the hostile judicial reactions to tort reform from the turn-of-the-century challenges to workers' compensation schemes through present day reform efforts. In the discussion of modern day efforts, the author focuses on attempts by the Florida Legislature to deal with the insurance crisis and then examines the Florida Supreme Court's use of state constitutional provisions to block these efforts. The author concludes that the judiciary should allow the legislature and the voters a freer …
