Admiralty is the body of law (statutory and jurisprudential) regulating the business of carrying passengers and cargo over water. More specifically, admiralty involves those rules that govern contract, tort, and worker’s compensation claims arising out of commerce on or over water. It is these rules, regulations, and laws which this survey course on maritime law will explore. In particular, the course will cover such topics as maritime jurisdiction, maritime tort and contract law, contracts for carriage of goods, and marine insurance.
