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.
