Description

The Law of the United States Territories Anthony M. Ciolli

ISBN: 9781531023713

The Law of the United States Territories addresses a significant gap in American legal education as the first casebook devoted specifically to the distinctive legal issues affecting residents of U.S. territories. Providing a comprehensive and accessible examination, the book explores the constitutional, statutory, and judicial frameworks governing Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

With the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the 125th anniversary of the Insular Cases approaching, the casebook examines the tension between foundational American principles of consent of the governed and equality and the colonial legal structure established after the Spanish-American War of 1898. Drawing on primary legal materials, judicial decisions, and scholarly analysis, it encourages students and scholars to explore fundamental questions of sovereignty, federalism, colonialism, equality, and democratic legitimacy.

The book provides law schools with the materials needed to offer dedicated courses on the law of U.S. territories. Its flexible organization also makes it suitable for excerpts in Constitutional Law, Federal Courts, Race and the Law, Human Rights, Election Law, and other related courses. Accessible and designed to encourage critical discussion, this casebook brings greater attention to important and often overlooked questions concerning law, equality, and democracy in the United States.

Rental Terms

Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.

Late Fees: Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
Damage Fees: Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
Return Shipping: Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
30-Day Refund Window: Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
