This text is unique in its focus on the modern admiralty practice. The cases and materials selected focus on current issues that the maritime lawyer faces, in addition to the historical bases of those issues. A key feature of the book is that it includes applicable legislation alongside cases, rather than in a statutory supplement. This technique of statutory inclusion allows the student to see and understand the critical relationship between case law and statutes in admiralty.

American maritime law probably seems like a world unto itself to most law students. This text gives you a first-class ticket to that world. It covers many recent developments in the United States Supreme Court on seaman status and remedies. Yet it is much more than an update.

This will help you answer exam questions more quickly and accurately.

This book is the result of forty years of teaching a course in Evidence at the law school level, and serving as a trial attorney and district judge and as a leader in Evidence studies with other lawyers and judges. It is based on the premise - often overlooked at the law school level - that the key generally is a recognition of how an evidentiary rule applies to a particular fact situation, and, usually, to make that recognition almost instantly and without any brotherly (or sisterly) help. It also is a recognition that evidence is part of the larger issue of proof, which encompasses much of the procedural rules in the federal and state jurisdictions. This book is not a substitute for a treatise on evidence law. What is attempted here is to provide materials that will help familiarize the student with the general rules of evidence and proof and to provide him or her with an opportunity to recognize the application of those rules to fact situations. Thus, after one familiarizes oneself with the basic rules of evidence and proof, problems are provided to give the user the opportunity to apply those rules in a trial-oriented fact situation. The book begins with a syllabus which outlines the anatomy of litigation from the selection of a cause of action through trial on the merits. The syllabus contains many valuable citations, but is not intended as an exhaustive treatment of the law. That work is left to the treatises. About the author: Professor Maraist joined the LSU Law Center faculty in 1974 after practicing law in Louisiana for ten years and teaching at multiple law schools across the country. He has served as a Louisiana Judge pro tem, authored numerous books and law review articles, and served as executive director of the Louisiana Judicial College and the Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel.

Tort Law: The American and Louisiana Perspectives, Second Edition has as its primary objective a study of tort law in the United States and Louisiana. It differs from most other torts casebooks, however, in that it has a secondary objective of providing an exercise in comparative law. In the United States, we often overlook the fact that the common law system that prevails in our nation is not the only legal system in the world. Much of the world applies a civil law approach in which a civil code has a more prominent role than case law. In a world in which trade and economics, politics, and law cross national borders, it has become increasingly important to be aware of and conversant in other nations' legal systems. Louisiana, the only state in the United States that can be described as a mixed jurisdiction, using both civil law and common law, provides an excellent model for examining and comparing and contrasting civil law and common law approaches to various legal issues. This book invites the reader to both study tort law and consider the differences and similarities between the common law states and a state that has a civil code and views the role of the courts and the legislature somewhat differently.
