Summary
Federal Enclave Law is a comprehensive treatise about "special territorial" areas within the States, where most State criminal laws do not apply, and some State civil laws are also inapplicable. If you want to start a business, you can skip getting a business license. You will pay no State taxes on liquor or personal property. You can ignore State minimum wage and overtime laws. And you will be able to circumvent State protections for civil rights, age-discrimination and whistleblowers. The book explains how enclaves got that way, and offers suggestions for reform. Also discussed are the Assimilative Crimes Act, the Posse Comitatus Act, the Supremacy Clause, Wage and hour laws, and recent cases finding "territorial" jurisdiction in National Forests. The book includes 22 pages of colored jurisdictional maps showing the checkerboard of jurisdiction on Navy property in the Southern District of California.
