Abstract: We show that a relative entropy condition recently shown by Leger and Vasseur to imply uniqueness and stable L2 dependence on initial data of Lax 1- or n-shock solutions of an nimesn system of hyperbolic conservation laws with convex entropy implies Lopatinski stability in the sense of Majda. This means in particular that Leger and Vasseur's relative entropy condition represents a considerable improvement over the standard entropy condition of decreasing shock strength and increasing entropy along forward Hugoniot curves, which, in a recent example exhibited by Barker, Freist"uhler and Zumbrun, was shown to fail to imply Lopatinski stability, even for systems with convex entropy. This observation bears also on the parallel question of existence, at least for small BV or Hs perturbations
