Synopsis

While the admiralty and maritime law of the United States is harmonious in broad outline with the law of other major maritime nations, it has unique features tied to the structure of the United States Constitution. Admiralty and Maritime Law reveals the areas of international harmony as well as explores the United States' special problem areas. The book provides the fundamental professional tools necessary to the practice or advanced study of United States maritime law.

While each of the authors is an expert in admiralty and maritime law, the book maintain's a non-specialist's perspective. It enables the well-grounded generalist to understand how and why admiralty law is different and at the same time ultimately familiar in its structure and preoccupations. Experienced admiralty teachers will find that the book is an orderly and user-friendly presentation of the unavoidable complexities of this area, with no sacrafice of depth.
