Abstract

Our conclusions may be summarized simply: Feldman itself should be overruled. The Rooker-Feldman doctrine should be abolished. Doubt should be cast on state supreme court management of the essentially regulatory function of licensing attorneys and disciplining attorneys and judges. Finally, there might be a need for a new doctrine to plug the small hole left by the Younger and preclusion doctrines - in other words, to bar state plaintiffs from jumping ship to federal court in midstream if they become dissatisfied with state court proceedings.
