• A paper defends the claim that, even though many state laws now prohibit same-sex marriage, no state's law requires this result. These laws state a public policy, but they do not foreclose the case-sensitive balancing of relevant factors and interests characteristic of modern choice-of-law reasoning. It is concluded that state courts should recognize the same-sex marriages of Hawaii domiciliaries who are transient within their borders.
