Law
- "Interstital federal lawmaking" is a species of "federal common law" which arises where Congressional statutes implicitly compel federal courts to fill gaps to interpret the federal law, should a case or controversy arise, where the transactions or issues typically would be controlled by state law (such as real property regulatory programs). United States v. Little Lake Misere Land Co., 412 U.S. 580 (1973).
