Someone is challenging Wisconsin's diploma privilege as a violation of the dormant commerce clause:
Wisconsin’s diploma privilege for graduates of the law schools at Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin may be in danger, at least if the Seventh Circuit reviews the merits of the privilege.
Two of the judges at oral argument on Tuesday called the state’s justification for the privilege “fiction.”
Christopher L. Wiesmueller, a graduate of Oklahoma City University Law School, and an attorney with Kuchler & Cotton Law Offices in Waukesha, is challenging the privilege as a violation of the dormant commerce clause, by treating the in-state law schools and their graduates more favorably than those from out-of-state.
It pretty clearly has a discriminatory effect, and it seems that the judges were not impressed by Wisconsin's justification.
