Abstract
El profesor Jorge M. Farinacci Fernós analiza una serie de casos resueltos por el Tribunal Supremo de los Estados Unidos durante el término 2015-2016 en los renglones de Derecho Constitucional, Procedimiento Criminal, Derecho Laboral, Procedimiento Civil, Derecho Administrativo, Derecho Penal, Quiebras y Derechos de Autor. El autor evalúa y critica en parte los casos de Puerto Rico v. Sánchez Valle y Puerto Rico v. Franklin California Tax Free Fund, cuyo efecto denomina como sustancial para la relación jurídico-política entre Puerto Rico y los Estados Unidos, particularmente en el segundo caso. En general, el profesor Farinacci Fernós comenta que el término 2015-2016 se caracterizó por la resolución estrecha de los casos que se argumentaron ante el Tribunal Supremo federal, con una tendencia hacia la interpretación estatutaria textualista, que en ocasiones se combinó con importantes herramientas teleológicas.
[Professor Jorge M. Farinacci Fernós undertakes an analysis of several decisions handed down by the United States Supreme Court during the 2015-2016 term in the fields of Constitutional Law, Criminal Procedure, Labor Law, Civil Procedure, Administrative Law, Criminal Law, Bankruptcy and Copyright Law. The author analyzes and criticizes in part the decisions rendered in Puerto Rico v. Sánchez Valle and Puerto Rico v. Franklin California Tax Free Fund, whose effect on legal-political relations between Puerto Rico and the United States he deems as substantial, especially in the second case. Generally speaking, professor Farinacci Fernós observes that the 2015-2016 term was characterized by the narrow decision of cases argued before the Court, with a tendency towards textualist statutory interpretation, which on occasion was bolstered with key teleological tools.]
