What’s New: Historically, Virgin Islands courts have looked to federal law (eg. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) as the source of much of the law, rules, and procedure in Virgin Islands courts. Recently, however, the Virgin Islands Supreme Court has assiduously applied VI law and rules to cases arising in the Virgin Islands Supreme and Superior courts. While federal law and rules are oftentimes used as a guide or persuasive authority, federal jurisprudence no longer has the hegemony over Virgin Islands cases that it once had. It is important to recognize this development and to apply, in first instance, local Virgin Islands law and rules to issues arising on the Virgin Islands bar exam.
