The recent AFSCME v. Washington comparable worth case attracted significant public attention when plaintiffs won an initial $800 million judgment against the State of Washington, only to see the award overturned on appeal. This paper reviews the legal theories used by the trial court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The current legal status of comparable worth is discussed, with particular emphasis on the applicability and precedential value of the Ninth Circuit's opinion for comparable worth cases in other jurisdictions. Analysis indicates that conflicts between the Ninth Circuit holding and opinions in other circuits provide a continuing opportunity for aggrieved employees to pursue claims under comparable worth or closely related legal theories.

Attempts to enact a net income tax in the State of Washington have been numerous and unsuccessful. Several statutes have been passed which would have levied net income taxes on individuals, and several other statutes have been passed which would have levied such taxes on corporations. However, all these enactments have been held unconstitutional, either under the United States Constitution or the Washington state constitution. As might be expected, there have been attempts to amend the state constituion to make it permissible to levy a net income tax. These attempts have all met with failure, either in the legislature or at the hands of the voters when the amendments went to them for approval. This Comment will analyze the amendments that have been attempted and will then offer suggestions of methods by which income taxation would be permitted. Complications caused by the federal Constitution will not be considered here.

Le processus mondial actuellement defavorable a l'imperalisme americain explique le regain d'interet des Etats-Unis pour l'Asie duSud et du Sud-Ouest. C'est ainsi que Washington mise sur le regime pakistanais, courtise l'Inde en intensifiant les contacts economiques, scientifiques et commerciaux, multiplie ses ingerences dans le conflit tamoul-singalais au Sri-Lanka et se reequipe sur le plan militaire dans l'ocean Indien. Il faut multiplier les demarches a l'ONU pour faire acceder la securite en Asie a un echelon qualitativement superieur. (Intern. Pol. Science Assoc.)

This Comment argues that the Washington legislature should amend Washington law to allow the removal of life-support measures, including artificial nutrition and hydration, from an incompetent patient in a persistent vegetative state. The Comment further argues that rather than following the ambiguous Informed Consent Law, the legislature should adopt the procedure outlined in the first, unmodified Grant decision. Part II of this Comment examines the Cruzan decision by the United States Supreme Court, including the facts of the case, holding of the court, aftermath of the decision, and long-term effects of the case. Part II also includes an extensive analysis and critique of Cruzan. Part III examines the status of Washington law both before and after Cruzan, including the Colyer, Hamlin, and Grant cases. In Part IV, this Comment compares Cruzan to the Washington cases, analyzing the two major impacts of Cruzan and pointing out why Washington State needs to clarify its law in light of Cruzan. Finally, this comment proposes that Washington adopt the original Grant procedure.
