California Maritime Lawyer Explains: What is Maritime Law?

Maritime Law - - The Law of the Sea

California Maritime Lawyer and California Proctor in Admiralty:
What is the law of the sea?

We hear the terms “maritime law” and “admiralty law.” These two terms are often used synonymously. Maritime is a Latin term. It is said to have been derived from “mare” (i.e., the sea) and “maritima.” “Maritime” means “of or pertaining to the sea.”

“Admiralty law” refers to the law of shipping and ships. “Maritime law” is a more expansive term than “Admiralty law.” “Maritime law" refers to the huge body of law that relates to navigation, sea commerce, boating, and law of shipping and marine resources. You will find that maritime law is a truly huge body of law. Enough to fill the world’s great oceans. With more than enough left over to fill all navigable waters. From the muddy banks of the Yuma Wash on the Colorado River to San Francisco Bay to Lake Mead.

If you are injured on a vessel or by a vessel, you need a Maritime Lawyer. California Maritime Attorney Bill Turley teaches other lawyers the law.
