Maritime Law Bulletin
From
the Dean
Charleston’s
location on the Atlantic Ocean makes it one of the largest
container ports in the world. It is a direct link to the
maritime industry. As a result of the natural focus on maritime
issues in Charleston, the Charleston School of Law will
become a significant center for the study of maritime law.
In
addition to its extensive curriculum of admiralty courses
for students and practitioners, the Charleston School of
Law will publish a student-edited maritime law bulletin
to review maritime laws and the industry as a whole. The
school will also be the host site for several programs on
Maritime and Ocean Carriage Law issues.
We
have intentionally included non-lawyer maritime professionals
on our Advisory Board so that services and publications
of the Institute will have an uncommon practical breadth.
Our goal is to be responsive to the suggestions and needs
of the professional maritime community, and to provide a
unique opportunity for exchanging information across all
disciplines. We hope to build our resources over the next
few years so that we will become a place of routine contact
for anyone interested in maritime
law or business.

About
the Institute
The Charleston Maritime Law Institute is a program
conducted by the Charleston School of Law for the benefit of its
students, the bar, and the maritime industry. It will be directed
by a member of the faculty of the School of Law, who will serve
as resident faculty director, and by a Board of
Advisors, drawn from the admiralty bar and from istinguished members
of maritime business and industry.
The goals of the institute include the following:
1. To organize and present regular programs and seminars on
current admiralty and maritime law and industry issues;
2. To publish a periodical journal/bulletin on current and significant
maritime issues; and
3. To support and foster a complete admiralty and maritime law
curriculum
at the Charleston School of Law.
We hope that the Institute will provide opportunities to serve
both the maritime bar and the larger maritime community, and will
be a friendly meeting point for many maritime specialists and
disciplines. We plan to achieve this and the goals listed above
according to the highest professional standards, and to have programs,
seminars, courses and publications that contain a balance of commercial
subjects (carrying goods, trade, finance, maritime insurance,
regulatory issues, etc.), and tort, liability and damages issues
for maritime workers and others subject to maritime jurisdiction.
