Cases and Materials on Admiralty
Author: Nicholas J. HealyPublisher: West Academic Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 984
Book Description
The lore of the sea draws people from land to the oceans for work and play, and the law of the sea draws litigants to courts for the trial of maritime cases. This book will be familiar to users of prior editions. The Fourth Edition calls upon law students to recall the ordinary law and procedure of federal and state courts, to learn exotic maritime law and procedure for events on salt and fresh waters, and in a broad range of maritime shipping contexts, to adjust conflicts of state laws and state courts with federal laws and courts, and conflicts of national law with international law. The 2002 Documents Supplement remains a useful supplement to the Fourth Edition.
Admiralty and Maritime Law in the United States
Author: David W. RobertsonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Admiralty
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
The maritime law of the United States is harmonious in broad outline with the laws of other maritime nations, but it has a unique structure--tied to the U.S. Constitution and the Judiciary Act of 1789--entailing a special set of intellectual challenges. Admiralty and Maritime Law in the United States is a leading casebook that reveals the areas of international harmony and explores U.S. law's special features. Each of the authors is an admiralty expert, but the book strives for a generalist's perspective. It aims to tie the admiralty field into the students' other studies while providing the fundamental professional tools necessary to the advanced study or practice of U.S. maritime law. Instructors new to admiralty found the first edition of Admiralty and Maritime Law to be an orderly and user-friendly introduction to the field. Experienced admiralty professors found the book to be well organized and thorough. In the second edition, the authors have drawn on these reports and their own teaching experiences. The book's basic organization and approach have been retained, but much of the second edition is brand-new. Older cases have yielded to leading new ones, new textual material has been added, and older textual material has been deleted or streamlined. Many of the cases that carried over from the first edition have been edited into shorter versions. The second edition incorporates the body of admiralty statutes that came into effect in October 2006 and the reformulated ("plain English") Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that took effect in December 2007. It includes the Supreme Court's dramatic new decisions in Stewart v. Dutra Construction Co., Norfolk Southern Railway v. Kirby, Norfolk Southern Railway v. Sorrell, and even--in a stop-the-press one-page summary--the June 2008 Exxon Valdez punitive damages case. When asked to identify the best new feature of the second edition, the authors respond: "There are 70 fewer pages of text." In three semester hours, one can teach all of it. For shorter or more ruminatively paced courses, the Teacher's Manual provides suggestions on what to omit. A 2012 Teacher's Manual is available as of July 2012; there is also a 2013-14 Supplement.

Pages : 0
Book Description
Through judicial opinions, statutes, conventions, documents, and textual notes, this Admiralty casebook shows how lawyers litigate, arbitrate, and repress disputes in domestic and international maritime transportation by using the tools of private international law. Within the same length as the Fourth Edition, the Fifth Edition updates the treatment of the usual topics and slightly rearranges the structure. A new chapter presents background on undeveloped topics such as piracy, the Deepwater Horizon casualty, and the Rotterdam Rules. The editors have sought to keep the Fifth Edition comfortable for long-time users and to make it accessible to new users.

Book Description
This new casebook, written in "stand alone" fashion for maximum customization by instructors, provides a pragmatic look at contemporary admiralty practice as well as a solid foundation for students contemplating a maritime law career. In assembling the text, the authors have drawn from a mix of older and newer cases, edited with a light touch, and even added touches of humor and references to popular culture. They also have: incorporated generous amounts of material from "emerging" areas of admiralty practice (such as cruise ship and pleasure boat claims); given equal time to "brown water" and "blue water" issues; devoted considerable attention to professional ethics; prepared chapter overviews, extensive notes, numerous cites to secondary sources, and a comprehensive index to help guide students through the readings; included in each of the book's 62 sections a challenging problem (as well as a "citing" decision) to stimulate classroom discussion; and written a highly-detailed teacher's manual (available only to professors) that will aid both new and experienced instructors.
