This work is the first casebook focusing on the interaction of the United States legal system with Mexican law in the border region. Composed of edited judicial decisions from American federal and state courts as well as Mexican courts, The Law of the U.S.-Mexico Border supplements the cases with statutes, scholarly and popular articles, maps, photos, and the author’s own commentary. As one of the longest international boundaries in the world, the border between Mexico and the United States has been the subject of controversies concerning a wide array of issues. The topics covered include: historical boundary questions, border detentions, immigrants’ rights, family law, real estate transactions, finance and trade, torts, crimes, environmental law, and the status of Mexican law in the United States. This book will teach law students and undergraduates about the power and limitation of the law in resolving border-related disputes at public and private levels.
