Serving Maritime Lawyers since 1923 |
Since its founding in 1923 by practicing maritime lawyers, American
Maritime Cases has earned a reputation as the method to research all
significant maritime decisions rendered by United States (Federal and
State) courts. It also reports legislative action, administrative law
decisions, arbitration decisions, Maritime Law Association of the U.S.
source material and other items which are deemed significant to
researching U.S. and Canadian law from time to time. AMC's status as the
basic source for researching American maritime law is due primarily to the
fact that its copyrighted key indexing system and meaningful, practical
headnotes are prepared by admiralty attorneys. |
Used Internationally by Practicing Maritime Lawyers |
Used extensively by American lawyers, it is just as useful to those
abroad who have an interest in maritime law, and who otherwise would have
to search the general law reports of many U.S. jurisdictions which contain
only a small percentage of maritime cases and often do not contain
decisions published in AMC. Given the vast number of decisions, both
maritime and non-maritime, produced in the U.S., AMC is invaluable to
everyone who wants quick access, and a practitioner's insight to the most
important admiralty law. |
Monthly, Annual, and Five Year Digest Publications |
Each year AMC publishes eleven monthly paperback issues (the "Monthly
Issues") and four bound compilation volumes (the "Annual Volumes"). Ten
Monthly Issues contain full texts of the most recent significant admiralty
cases along with a cumulative table of cases for the year, an index by
jurisdictions of cases in that issue, and an index-digest of the headnotes
for materials contained in the issue. Issue #11 is a recap of headnotes
for the year. The Annual Volumes combine all the material from the Monthly
Issues for a given year. In addition, AMC publishes a comprehensive
two-volume digest every five years, containing all headnotes for those
five years (the "Five Year Digests"). |
AMC on CD Rom |
AMC is also available electronically via a CD Rom containing all cases
printed in AMC from 1923 until present. |
