Subject: Alaska Submerged Lands Case<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
The United States Supreme Court&#39;s opinion today (6 June 2005) in<br/>
Alaska v. United States rejected Alaska&#39;s claim to submerged lands in<br/>
the Alexander Archipelago and under Glacier Bay, upholding the federal<br/>
government&#39;s claim.  The outcome rested largely on domestic law - the<br/>
Submerged Lands Act and the equal footing doctrine.  Nevertheless, the<br/>
Alexander Archipelago dispute also hinged on the court&#39;s application of<br/>
international law that may be of interest to boundaries and maritime<br/>
scholars -- historic inland waters, the juridical bay, and Article 7(2)<br/>
of the Territorial Sea Convention.<br/>
