Biography of Dan MacMeekin
Peace Corps in Chile
From 1964 to 1966, I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Chile, where I provided technical assistance in the establishment and management of housing and agricultural cooperatives.
I am a lawyer in private practice in Washington, DC. I focus on civil matters and, particularly, civil matters that involve the construction and application of federal law.
I have particular interests in the legal, political, and economic arrangements between islands and the metropolitan powers with which they are affiliated and in the related issues of autonomy, self-government, federalism, and indigenous rights.
I have worked for many years with Pacific islands jurisdictions and have special expertise in legal problems in the relations between those jurisdictions and the United States. I also advise businesses and firms with interests in the Pacific islands. I have extensive research experience in the Library of Congress, the National Archives of the United States, the Archives of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and the agencies of the U.S. federal government. I often consult with other attorneys and undertake specific research and writing assignments in the interests of their clients.
I welcome inquiries on my availability to provide particular legal advice or assistance.
