The second edition of this law school casebook, like the first, focuses on modern admiralty practice. The cases and materials selected discuss current issues that a maritime lawyer faces, in addition to the historical bases of those issues. This second edition includes new and significant cases decided since the first edition was published, including cases affecting vessel status, maritime contracts and punitive damages. Another key feature of the book remains the inclusion of applicable legislation alongside cases, rather than in a statutory supplement. This inclusion allows students to see and understand the critical relationship between case law and statutes in admiralty. The book can be used for a general admiralty course or for a shorter, more focused maritime personal injury course.

Law Practice

Lousiana Law of Torts A Precis discusses an understanding of the history and development of Louisiana's tort law that helps place the current state of the law in its proper context. This book also touches on concepts such as intentional torts and negligence, wrongful death, immunity, comparative negligence, and strict and absolute liability. These are not terms found in the Louisiana Civil Code; they have been adopted from the common law. But the concepts these terms embody have their foundations in Louisiana tort law, either through the Code or other legislation or jurisprudence, and from both the common law and civil law influences. For more than 200 years, Louisiana law has been developing under these two influences.
