THE ULTIMATE JONES ACT SEMINAR

Congress has just recodified U.S. Maritime Law, changing the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA), and the Admiralty Extension Act, among others. Learn the details of these changes and how they will affect your practice at the Ultimate Jones Act seminar. The Ultimate Jones Act Seminar is a one-day course designed for attorneys and insurance agents to garner deeper insight into the Jones Act from the perspectives of both plaintiff and defense lawyers.
