Admiralty in a Nutshell,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Admiralty in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book that makes good reading for Mariners of all ages who have an intrest in Admiralty/Maritime Law. So,if you are about to pull some gold out of an abandoned shipwreck you better read the chapter on Salvage.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended by one of NY's leading admiralty attorneys,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Admiralty in a Nutshell, 5th (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)
This particular nut-shell was recommended to me by a leading admiralty trial attorney during an interview. Since I graduated from a law school that did not offer courses in maritime law, I neeeded something to give me a foundation in that area, so I could compete with interviewees that had graduated from law schools that offered maritime law classes. Well, the book did just that; it contains alot of substance and covers maritime law issues in the perspective and tone of a practioner. Although it's a small book, it offers a needed foundation to a vast and complex and interesting field for the out-sider.
