Maritime Law: Cases and Materials (American Casebook Series)

This text is unique in its focus on the modern admiralty practice. The cases and materials selected focus on current issues that the maritime lawyer faces, in addition to the historical bases of those issues. A key feature of the book is that it includes applicable legislation alongside cases, rather than in a statutory supplement. This technique of statutory inclusion allows the student to see and understand the critical relationship between case law and statutes in admiralty.
