    The territory federal jurisdiction forgot: the question of greater federal jurisdiction in American Samoa
    in Pacific Rim Law & Policy Journal (The) , Vol. 18 No. 1, January ,  2009
    The United States Territory of American Samoa is over 7000 miles from Washington, D.C., and that distance might explain the United States' limited interest in the territory. The lack of interest has allowed American Samoa to maintain its unique cultural foundations. However, it has also kept American Samoa detached from the federal governmental structure, including the judicial system. In fact, a federal district court does not exist in American Samoa, nor has the territory been incorporated into a federal judicial district.
