Artifact Description

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 will suggest how the Court might limit a state court's jurisdiction over a sister state in future cases in a manner consistent with Hall.
