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.
