SUMMER SCHOOL IN MARITIME LAW 2016
11 - 15 July 2016
Aims and Objectives
This Summer School will equip those who attend with a detailed insight into issues of current
importance in the areas of shipping, land transport and European law. It is designed to provide
a major learning resource for lawyers and business people. It will recruit students from Spain
and the rest of Europe but also internationally.
The programme is designed to meet the specific needs of professional lawyers who may be seeking to expand their practice in the field of Maritime Law, and also to meet the complementary
needs of shipping executives who have to understand the complex legal issues which context
their commercial enterprise.
The Teaching Programme
The rationale of the course is that the Law of England and Wales is the legal system which provides the basic reference underpinning all International Shipping Law, and is the universally
preferred jurisdiction in respect of maritime disputes.
A full balance of academic, legal and commercial expertise is represented in the composition of
teaching team, whose members are drawn from the Law Departments of leading British universities and Law firms which specialise in Maritime, Shipping and Transport Law.
In addition to lecture presentation and seminar discussion, teaching arrangements will include
role play. These elements are designed to enable students to apply their course learning immediately in their current professional situations. Students will also receive an hour of individual
consultation with the organising tutor to enable discussion of the personaliquel
