Foreign Fishing Piracy Vs. Somalia Piracy – Does Wrong Equal Wrong?, Leticia M. Diaz, Barry Hart Dubner

Barry Law Review

This article is a sequel to the authors' last article, On the Evolution of the Law of International Sea Piracy, published in December 2009.

When Good Courts Go Wrong: A Critique Of The Supreme Court's Domestic Maritime Boundary Jurisprudence, Gayl S. Westerman

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In addressing the concerns presented in the introduction, Part II of this article will argue that the Supreme Court and its Special Masters have misapplied the rules embodied in the 1958 Convention and UNCLOS in regard to the establishment of juridical bays, in every domestic maritime boundary case since 1965.
