Overview

The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA) is a critical statute for the future of the United States military and the American public. Its interpretation affects both national security and the rights of American citizens. This statute gives the United States judicial system the ability to exercise jurisdictional control overseas. No time in this nation's history has the United States government exercised such potential control over its citizens abroad. Critical issues regarding MEJA, especially the implementing of the Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) remain unresolved. This thesis proposes a series of revisions to the DoDI in order to resolved ambiguities and misunderstandings. Furthermore, a case of first impression regarding the use of MEJA is also underway. This thesis analyzes it as well. In July 2004, this case of first impression will be prosecuted determining, once and for all, if the jurisdictional gap over Americans accompanying armed forces overseas has been resolved.
