Webinar: The ABCs (D, E and F) of Admiralty Jurisdiction
**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone**
As it relates to admiralty and maritime subject matter jurisdiction, the U.S. Constitution states in Article III, Section 2 that “[t]he judicial Power shall extend. . . to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction…” The first statute defining the boundaries of admiralty jurisdiction was enacted in 1789 (known as the First Judiciary Act; Chapter 20, section 9, 1 Stat. 73). The current statutory grant of admiralty jurisdiction can be found at 28 U.S.C. § 1333(1), which gives federal district courts original jurisdiction over “any civil case of admiralty or maritime jurisdiction, saving to suitors in all cases all other remedies to which they are otherwise entitled.” Some kinds of maritime cases—typically those involving in rem remedies against a vessel or cargo—are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts. Under the “savings to suitors” clause, on the other hand, state courts may have concurrent jurisdiction over admiralty claims when a state court is competent to grant relief, which is in most instances where in personam jurisdiction may be had in a state court. Learn how the Supplemental Admiralty Rules play into this unique and complex area of law.
Presented by the Federal Bar Association’s Admiralty Law Section as a resource for FBA law students, new attorneys, and Judicial Intern Academy participants.
