Cases and Materials on Admiralty

David J. Sharpe

Through judicial opinions, statutes, conventions, documents, and textual notes, this Admiralty casebook shows how lawyers help their clients reallocate the risks inherent in domestic and international maritime transactions, and how lawyers help resolve disputes that arise from maritime transportation. The Sixth Edition updates the treatment of the usual topics and significantly rearranges the structure. A new chapter titled "Loss Allocation" combines previous chapters on general average, marine insurance, and limitation of liability into a single presentation. This new chapter addresses questions such as whether a potential loss can be reallocated in advance; whether to leave the loss where it falls or to make the duty-breacher pay; and whether the loss is limited, shared, or diverted to another party. The editors have sought to keep the Sixth Edition both comfortable for long-time users and accessible to new users.

Cases and Materials on Admiralty

Jo Desha Lucas

This casebook provides detailed information on admiralty and retains the basic structure and organization of the prior editions. The book provides the tools for fast, easy, on-point classroom discussion and study, while including selected cases designed to illustrate the development of a body of law on a particular subject. Text and explanatory materials designed for law study accompany the cases. The structure and organization of the casebook provides flexibility, so that the instructor can easily design an admiralty course that covers either the jurisdictional aspect of admiralty law, the substantive law of admiralty, or both.
