Subject:

Description:

Description: An introduction to the law American courts apply to maritime transactions and events. Admiralty law, while important for its substantive coverage, has also proven instructive for American lawyers generally because it is not based on the Common Law, but on the traditions of the sea combined with the forms of Roman or Civil Law. Specific topics to be considered include: jurisdiction, maritime liens, the carriage of goods by sea, salvage, general average, collision, seamen's remedies, limitation of liability, the role of state law, and special problems when the defendant is a government. 2.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
