LAW-6310 INTERNATIONAL LAW OF THE SEA
This is a public international law course dealing with jurisdictional boundaries such as territorial waters, contiguous zones, high seas, exclusive economic zones, etc. We will also study sea piracy/terrorism and spend considerable time on the 1982 Law of the Sea Treaty. It is different than a course on Admiralty in that the latter course studies "private law" that deals with, inter alias: injuries to seamen, cargo, etc. Students who have taken or may take International Law of the Sea are not eligible to take Sea Piracy and students who have taken (post Fall 2010) or may take Sea Piracy are not eligible to take International Law of the Sea.
