This article was published by the University of Puerto Rico Law School Journal. In it, Prof. Diaz Olivo and I analyze the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions that created and reiterated the Puerto Rico's constitutional status as an unincorporated territory.

Hon. L.F. Estrella Martinez, Principios del acceso a la justicia para combatir las barreras en el Derecho Administrativo, 86 Rev. Jur. UPR 849 (2017). I helped Justice Estrella Martinez in the process of researching and drafting this article, originally prepared for a symposium about the access to justice as a fundamental right. In this article, the Judge emphasizes the need for such right in legal proceedings before administrative agencies. Specifically, he proposes principles that provide a legal basis for a claim to a more accessible justice system for anyone.
