Information to Users INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23" black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, 35mm slides of 6”x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography.

    Forty-Ninth Annual Commencement ST. THOMAS ST. CROIX Saturday, the Eleventh of May Sunday, the Twelfth of May Two Thousand and Thirteen Two Thousand and Thirteen Seven O’Clock in the Evening Half after Four O’Clock in the Afternoon Sports and Fitness Center Campus Grounds St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands President’s Message The University of the Virgin Islands is on the pathway to greatness. This academic jewel has provided 50 years of higher education opportunities for residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands as well as persons from neighboring Caribbean islands, students from the U.S. mainland, and those hailing from as far away as India. Today is an auspicious day for each of us. I am particularly moved by the passion and compassion of so many of our students, faculty and staff. We are moving confidently into the second 50 years of UVI’s delivery of higher education opportunities in the region. And, truly, what better way to start this portion of our journey, than to honor individu- als who represent achievement at the highest level of their professions. First, Ambassador Terence A. Todman, one of the remarkable sons of the soil, will be awarded an honorary degree in recognition of his stellar career as an Ambassador. Also recognized and honored at this year’s Commencement Ceremonies will be George F. Tyson who has devoted his professional life to bringing the history of the Territory, and more particularly, that of St. Croix, to life in a way that all Virgin Islanders can truly understand their roots.

  • Banks and the Reception of the Common Law in the U.S
    TOO BIG TO FAIL: BANKS AND THE RECEPTION OF THE COMMON LAW IN THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS Joseph T. Gasper II* The story of the extent to which the common law of England has been received and applied in the United States, is one of the most interesting and important chapters in American legal history. However, many courts and writers have shown a tendency simply to say that our colonial forefathers brought the common law of England with them, and there has often been little or no inclination to look further into the question.1 I. INTRODUCTION The one-hundredth anniversary of Transfer Day—the name by which the 31st of March is known in the U.S. Virgin Islands and also a legal holiday in the Territory2—will occur in 2017. The * © 2017, Joseph T. Gasper II. All rights reserved. Appellate and Complex Litigation Law Clerk/Law Librarian, Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, District of St. Croix.
