"Property Rights" In Constitutional Analysis Today, James L. Oakes
"Property Rights" In Constitutional Analysis Today, James L. Oakes
Washington Law Review
The concept of "property rights" in Supreme Court constitutional analysis today is in flux. It has been and is undergoing change—a change more rapid than those of us who have concentrated our attention on other personal rights can imagine. That this process of change raises anew some fundamental issues of justice is not surprising; the institution of property has always done so. Perhaps the change is simply a swing of the pendulum, as the quote from Justice Frankfurter suggests: individual "property rights" assume greater importance as a state moves toward a laissez-faire economy or away from a regulated one; they …
Constitutional Law—Balancing Test In Durational Residence Equal Protection Analysis—Williams V. Zobel, 619 P.2d 448 (Alaska 1980), Prob. Juris. Noted, 101 S. Ct. 1344 (1981), E. Thaddeus Lewis
Washington Law Review
This note analyzes the Zobel II opinion and concludes that it was correctly decided both under the two-tier analysis employed by the United States Supreme Court and the balancing approach adopted by the Alaska court. Since this case is before the United States Supreme Court on appeal, this note urges the Court to adopt the Alaska balancing test for durational residence equal protection cases as a replacement for the traditional two-tier analysis.

Constitutional Law—State Sovereign Immunity—Nevada V. Hall, 440 U.S. 410 (1979), Richard H. Pierson
Washington Law Review
The doctrine of state sovereign immunity in the courts of another state and the federal courts will be examined in section I of this casenote. In section II, the Court's reasoning in Nevada v. Hall will be discussed. The Court's conclusion that the Constitution places no limit on a state court's jurisdiction over a sister state will be challenged in part A of section III. The ambiguities in the Hall opinion that render the scope of a state court's jurisdiction uncertain and the desirability of limiting that jurisdiction will be examined in part B of section III. Finally, this note …
