of North Carolina Maritime and Admiralty Law

Admiralty and maritime law is a complex and specialized area of law that is significantly different from the laws that apply on land. It covers a wide array of issues involving the shipment of cargo, transportation of people, commercial fishing, boating for pleasure, and other issues related to ships.
