5.0 out of 5 stars
Pocket Part not included,
By Michael D Jenkins (Provo, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Admiralty and Maritime Law (3rd Edition) (Hornbook Series) (Hardcover)
Customers should be aware that the Pocket Part used to bring this volume current is not included in the sale. You would be better off ordering this book directly from the publisher, West Group, if you want a law book that is current, at no additional cost, at the time of sale.

The must have maritime law source!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Admiralty and Maritime Law (Hornbook Series) (Hardcover)
Have a maritime matter come across your desk? Where to begin research into a pesky and ancient area of rather arcane law? Schoenbaum is IT. Cites cases, statutes, and explains basic admiralty law very well, so that the admiralty virgin will have no problem figuring out why there is no jury, how a ship can be arrested, and what the heck general average is all about.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The definitive Hornbook on maritime law,
By A Customer
This review is from: Admiralty and Maritime Law (Hornbook Series) (Hardcover)
Schoenbaum's Hornbook on Admiralty is indispensable from the point of view of this maritime practitioner. It is much better than the other Hornbook available - and so far beyond other guides that it's not even worth looking at anything else. If you need a sound reference on such an esoteric subject, this is the one to get.
