This is the online learning site for Admiralty & Maritime Law (685). The subject is the corpus of rules, practices, and legal concepts governing certain activities in the business of carrying goods and passengers over navigable waters.

This study of law is focused on an industry tied with a unique history and international traditions quite distinct from what you know about "shore" law counterpart applications. Its issues span much of the basic curriculum, such as contracts, civil procedure, torts, legislation, comparative law, international law, and property to name a few.
