Alaska Supreme Court: Sovereign Immunity
Jump to Comments
The Court’s opinion today in Glover v. State, DOTPF, MMHS, Op. No. 6222 (Alaska Jan. 18, 2008), covers important issues surrounding sovereign immunity (federal abrogation, constructive consent), pre-emption (discrimination against federal claims), access to courts, and Equal Protection. The Court (per Justice Carpeneti) compliments Superior Court Judge Patricia Collins by incorporating a major part of her trial court opinion (on constructive consent). I’ll post a more analytical summary later.
Update: The later analysis is here.
