The Maritime Law Journal
is a biannual law journal accompanied by an annual survey
of Ninth Circuit cases pertaining to maritime law. The Journal
is specifically designed as a practical guide where practitioners
can gain information on the latest developments in maritime
law. The Journal's student Board
of Editors selects topics that incorporate practitioners'
concerns about current maritime issues, recent statutory
changes, and case law developments.
The all-student staff researches, edits,
and cite checks the submitted articles. Every member of
the Board of Editors has taken at least a general course
in maritime law, while others have taken courses on the
Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, Marine Insurance, and Maritime
Environmental Law. Additionally, the Maritime Law Journal
coordinates maritime
externships with local maritime law firms and also sponsors
two teams to compete each year in the Judge
John R. Brown National Admiralty Moot Court Competition.
Now in its twentieth year, the Journal
receives substantial support and assistance from its Board
of Advisors. The Board of Advisors is comprised of practitioners
in the maritime legal community from around the country,
international maritime practitioners, and USF School of
Law faculty members. The Journal's Board of Advisors
advises the student Board of Editors on topic selection,
issues relating to practice in the maritime field, the organization
and dissemination of the legal publication, and the maintenance
and development of relations within the maritime community.
The Journal accepts article submissions
from practitioners, professors, and students.
