Constitutional Architecture II: Territorial Courts
Constitutional Architecture II: Territorial Courts
This chapter discusses the nature of territorial courts. The judges from territorial courts are outside the scope of the Article III of the United States constitution. Since they are outside the boundaries of what makes a judicial staff, their capability of performing judicial functions without being bound by the specifications of Article III is one of the biggest mysteries in the American constitutional process. The chapter suggests that territorial judges belong to the executive branch of the government, as they can also adjudicate cases in special circumstances.
