Admiralty Law Section: Admiralty and Maritime Law Issues Affecting the Plaintiff’s Bar

Rockets, barges and vessel to vessel transfers at sea, oh my!” and “Maintenance and Cure: Ancient remedy—modern applications.” The two speakers will be moderated by our CLE Chair, Charles Davant but the object is for attendees to have an open discussion, ask questions and discuss other issues affecting the maritime plaintiff’s bar.
