Crime At Sea: Admiralty Sessions And The Background To Later Colonial Jurisdiction, M. J. Prichard

Dalhousie Law Journal

The conference program describes the legal history of Nova Scotia as terra incognita. Whether this is so for the province's own inhabitants is not a question that someone from the other side of the Atlantic should presume to judge, since ignorance there is not limited to the legal history of Nova Scotia but extends to colonial legal history generally. We have, I fear, been intimidated by the task, and we have tended to leave each erstwhile colony to trace its own legal history. I comfort myself, therefore, with the thought that any transatlantic contribution is likely to be a modest …

Chartering Recreational Boats In The United States: A Compilation And Analysis Of Applicable Federal Maritime Law, Mary Nathalie Peter

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

No single primary source exists to provide current and would-be participants in recreational charter boat operations in the United States with a basic legal understanding of their rights and obligations. The relevant federal maritime standards, laws, regulations, and judicial interpretations are scattered in isolated codebooks, reporters, and bulletins. Moreover, the governing body of law for boat chartering is admiralty law, which has been shaped throughout the centuries primarily by the traditions and dictates of the commercial shipping and shipbuilding industries. As a result, the logic behind the admiralty framework tends to be obscure when viewed in the context of a …

Director, Office Of Workers' Compensation Programs V. Perini North River Associates: Judicial Dilution Of The Longshoremen's And Harbor Workers' Compensation Act's 'Status' Requirement, Roberto L. Corrada

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

In Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs v. Perini North River Associates, the Supreme Court effectively deleted from the LHWCA the section 2(3) "status" requirement as it pertains to workers injured on actual navigable waters of the United States. The Court's generous view of the 1972 amendments will clearly result in more workers being able to recover benefits under the Act. At the same time, however, the Court's means of expanding the Act without relying on clear congressional intent disturbs traditional notions of judicial review and implies an attempt at judicial legislation.

Although the Court noted that it intended to …

Regulatory Reform In The Ocean Shipping Industry: An Extraordinary U.S. Commitment To Cartels, George E. Garvey

Scholarly Articles

This article explores the historical basis for and nature of the existing regulatory model for the U.S. shipping industry, the reasons suggested for the changes under consideration, and the possible impact of the proposed changes. The article concludes that the primary justifications for continued regulation of ocean shipping are flawed and thus require more serious consideration than is likely to occur through the legislative hearing process. Alternatively, if the changes are imperative politically, the facts suggest efficient U.S. liner companies are likely to thrive in a more competitive regime. More radical deregulation than Congress has considered seriously, therefore, might be …

The Seas And International Law: Rules And Rulers, Mark Weston Janis

Faculty Articles and Papers

The recent developments in the law of the sea form only one chapter of a larger story which deals with the development of international law in general. This larger story has to do with the ways in which the rules of international law are perceived and how it is believed the world should be governed. This Article examines the tale of the law of the sea in the 1970's and 1980's in an historical perspective. It is especially important for Americans to remember the record of history. This is so not only because the United States is one of the …
