Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section

ADMIRALTY AND MARITIME LAW

The Admiralty and Maritime Law Committee of the American Bar Association Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section brings together plaintiffs' attorneys, defense attorneys and insurance industry counsel for the exchange of information and ideas. The Admiralty and Maritime Law Committee strives to serve as the primary resource for admiralty and maritime law tort and insurance practice education and knowledge. The Admiralty and Maritime Law Committee also encourages its membership to uphold the tenets of the American Bar Association: Defending liberty and pursuing justice. The Admiralty and Maritime Law Committee also encourages diversity of membership and promotes professionalism in our chosen field.

The Admiralty and Maritime Law Committee of TIPS is pleased to announce the creation of ADMIRALTY CHAT. ADMIRALTY CHAT is a forum for lawyers, students and staff who practice/study/work in the area of admiralty law. Participants will have an opportunity to pose questions, offer advice, and share information on either of two separate "ListServes," which are distinguished by subject matter - one focusing on general maritime claims, torts and contracts ("ADMIRALTY CHAT - MT&C"); and another focusing on cargo claims ("ADMIRALTY CHAT - CARGO"). Guided only by these broad categories, group participants determine the specific topics for discussion.
If you are interested in participating in ADMIRALTY CHAT, please click on the appropriate links below to read the rules and register for either, or both, of the ListServes.

 

We are trying to update our list of email addresses to ensure that everyone receives an email link to our quarterly committee newsletter. If you are not receiving a link, TIPS may not have your e-mail address. Don't miss out on this important membership benefit. Please give us your email address today by clicking on this link to the TIPS mailbox at tips@abanet.org . If your e-mail has changed, you may also use the TIPS mailbox to update your old address.
