SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Examines all the aspects of the Full Faith and Credit Clause and its importance in the development of United States law. Looks separately at the individual components that embody the clause--those that deal with records, public acts, and judicial proceedings. Also, discusses the relationship between the clause and the issues of family law.
