Kirt O'Neill, Contractual Choice of Law: The Case for a New Determination of Full Faith and Credit Limitations, 71 TEXAS L. REV. 1019 (1993).
 

Abstract:
In this Note, the author urges that the unitary Hague test of the constitutionality of a state's choice of law is inadequate to protect the sovereign interests of the states when the litigants have a priori agreed on the applicable law and the forum state merely seeks to uphold their choice. The author concludes that if state sovereignty concerns embodied in the still-vital Full Faith and Credit Clause are to be adequately protected, the Court must respond to the recent state legislation in this area by formulating distinct full faith and credit limitations that maintain the status of the states as equal sovereigns.
