Book Description
AILC is an annual case law reporter that provides the full text of U.S. court opinions involving international law issues. The courts covered include all U.S. federal district courts, federal appellate courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as some state courts, the U.S. Court of Claims, the U.S. Court of International Trade, and the U.S. Tax Court. The series seeks to provide not every single case in which a court refers to international law but rather all cases that analyze at least one international law issue in depth. The list of subjects addressed by these volumes is vast and changes from year to year, with the inclusion and prominence of most topics turning on their prevalence in a given year's jurisprudence. Some consistently prominent topics are personal jurisdiction over foreign defendants, deportation procedure, and double taxation. Over the last three editions (2006, 2007, and 2008), many topics have developed rapidly and constitute a correspondingly larger portion of the volumes, particularly Terrorism, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, Forum Non Conveniens, and an entirely new, added topic: the National Security Exception (to deportation eligibility). The 2008 edition of AILC also features expanded sections on family law and on the detention of terrorist suspects. The U.S. war on terror and the crisis at Guantanamo have made that last topic a significant and dynamic component of AILC. Each edition of AILC also comes framed with two practical resources for students and scholars. The first is an introductory editor's note that both reviews international law's major developments for the given year and explains to readers how to use the volumes. The second is a subject index to allow for targeted research. Volume Nine of AILC concerns topics in international trade, such as agency, employment, and labor, and transportation carriers. The volume also includes issues in customs law, environmental law, human rights, and criminal law. In World Fuel Corporation v. Geithner, the issue was whether the Office of Foreign Assets Control, United States Department of the Treasury properly denied World Fuel Corporation a license to access the blocked assets of one of WFC's debtors. The district court remanded the matter to the OFAC for de novo consideration. The circuit court dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In United States v. Rodriguez, the principal issue was whether the Hostage Act has been validly applied to defendants who perpetrated an extortion scheme that used brief confinement of a taxi passenger to obtain a somewhat above average taxi fare. The court concluded that the Hostage Act does not apply to the facts of the case.

Book Description
As Brown demonstrates, Aycinena played a role in practically all aspects of isthmian affairs, including commercial expansion, military activities, and the church establishment. He was both an aggressive entrepreneur and a defender of traditional colonial institutions. For his numerous services to the Spanish Crown, Aycinena received a Castilian title, the only title in late colonial Central America.
