Admiralty and Maritime Law: Admiralty and Maritime ... (ISBN 031414904X)

The definitive Hornbook on maritime law:
Schoenbaum's Hornbook on Admiralty is indispensable from the point of view of this maritime practitioner. It is much better than the other Hornbook available - and so far beyond other guides that it's not even worth looking at anything else. If you need a sound reference on such an esoteric subject, this is the one to get.

The must have maritime law source!:
Have a maritime matter come across your desk? Where to begin research into a pesky and ancient area of rather arcane law? Schoenbaum is IT. Cites cases, statutes, and explains basic admiralty law very well, so that the admiralty virgin will have no problem figuring out why there is no jury, how a ship can be arrested, and what the heck general average is all about.

Pocket Part not included:
Customers should be aware that the Pocket Part used to bring this volume current is not included in the sale. You would be better off ordering this book directly from the publisher, West Group, if you want a law book that is current, at no additional cost, at the time of sale.

I have spent my life at sea. So did my son.:
Deaths, accidents and collisions and sinkings at sea are not viewed by U.S. Courts with laws that confine the everyday civil, criminal, commercial, or real estate business of this country. Like the sea itself, U.S. Maritime Law is a collection of interconnected forces that one must navigate to pass. Thomas J. Schonenbaum helped my family understand and navigate the legal proceedings after my son's death at sea.
