Abstract

The article discusses the state court's obligation to enforce section 1983 in the U.S. It highlights the events of Haywood, the antidiscrimination principle that requires state court to entertain federal claims, and the legitimacy of the state court's excuse to enforce the 1983 claims. Moreover, it analysis the state court's interest of removing its jurisdiction over the 1983 suit.
