A practical understanding of maritime conflict of laws issues is essential for anyone who intends to work in shipping law or international trade. This course will provide a clear and accessible introduction to conflicts issues that arise in the day to day practice of shipping law. Topics may include conflict of jurisdictions, parallel proceedings and forum shopping in admiralty matters; role of foreign law in establishing admiralty jurisdiction; recognition and priority of foreign maritime liens and other claims; choice of law and maritime Conventions; conflicts of maritime Conventions; security for foreign maritime proceedings; and recognition and enforcement of foreign maritime judgments. No prior knowledge of conflicts theory or practice is required or expected, but prior or concurrent enrolment in an admiralty law course is essential.
