The Irony of Legal Pluralism in U.S. Occupations.

The article focuses on the history of legal pluralism in the U.S. occupied countries of Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic at the beginning of the 21st century. The author explains that segregated occupational judicial systems were created by the U.S. military in an attempt to minimize conflicts, but due to the U.S. not taking over the judiciary, the courts became a way for the countries to retaliate against their occupiers. He discusses the history of provost courts in the countries and explores the constitutional issues of legal pluralism.
