Admirality Law

Admiralty law, also known as maritime law, governs legal matters related to navigation and shipping over water. It covers a wide range of issues, including shipping contracts, marine navigation, fisheries, and accidents at sea. This body of law ensures the safety and fairness of maritime operations and can involve various international treaties. Admiralty law applies to boats, ships, cargo, and crews, addressing disputes that arise in navigable waters. It is unique in that it often allows for jurisdiction across different countries, reflecting the global nature of maritime trade and travel.
