WHAT IS THE MARITIME LAW CENTER?

The Maritime Law Center was created in 1982. It functioned informally under the Directorship of Professor Robert Force until 1986, when the Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund formally approved a resolution establishing the Center as a division of the Law School. At the same time, the Administrators confirmed the endowment of a fund to support the activities of the Center. Two committees assist the Directors in formulating policy and in fundraising. These are the Committee of Advisers and the Endowment Committee.

The maritime law experience at Tulane is second to none. The maritime law program is internationally renowned for its breadth and depth of studies, events and activities.
