Cepeda Derieux & Neil C. Weare  \nThe Court’s recent failure to overrule the Insular Cases represents a missed opportunity to move past the racially motivated doctrine of territorial incorporation. Three cases involving the denial of citizenship\, warrantless searches\, and unequal benefits in U.S. territories demonstrate the Insular Cases’ continuing harm while offering hope for their reconsideration. \nPolitical Wine in a Judicial Bottle: Justice Sotomayor’s Surprising Concurrence in Aurelius \nby Christina D. Ponsa-Kraus  \nThis Essay criticizes Justice Sotomayor’s concurring opinion in Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico v. Aurelius Investment\, LLC. for offering a one-sided and misleading explanation of the island’s constitutional status\, and thereby taking sides in Puerto Rico’s decolonization debate. \nHow We Study the Constitution: Rethinking the Insular Cases and Modern American Empire \nby Aziz Rana  \nThis Essay defends the importance of the Insular Cases in American constitutional development. It explores the extent to which the United States has from the founding been a project of empire as well as the centrality of events surrounding those cases to basic transformations in twentieth century legal-political practice. \nFor media inquiries or more information about the event\, please contact ylj@yalelawjournal.org.
