Customers should be aware that the Pocket Part used to bring this volume current is not included in the sale. You would be better off ordering this book directly from the publisher, West Group, if you want a law book that is current, at no additional cost, at the time of sale.

Have a maritime matter come across your desk? Where to begin research into a pesky and ancient area of rather arcane law? Schoenbaum is IT. Cites cases, statutes, and explains basic admiralty law very well, so that the admiralty virgin will have no problem figuring out why there is no jury, how a ship can be arrested, and what the heck general average is all about.

Schoenbaum's Hornbook on Admiralty is indispensable from the point of view of this maritime practitioner. It is much better than the other Hornbook available - and so far beyond other guides that it's not even worth looking at anything else. If you need a sound reference on such an esoteric subject, this is the one to get.

I have been looking for additional books on Admiralty Law, yet sadly always come back to a good review of a book that ends up being this exact book. It covers pretty much all the bases if only just briefly, and is the only written work, aside from very specific works, that gives you most, if not all, aspects of maritime and admiralty law. It even helps you understand the difference between the two, which for the longest time I thought the two terms were interchangeable! I love this book, I do wish it was a bit more detailed in parts, but is a great place to start on any study in the field. Additionally, the seller was just great, no issues and timely shipping :)
