The Salty Barrister

Experienced admiralty attorney John Fulweiler shares some insights into the "Law of the Sea". Capt. Fulweiler grew up as a RI Boater, and spent several of his collegiate summers as a Safe/Sea Captain.

The Salty Barrister is launched!

John Fulweiler - Wednesday, March 25, 2009
The first day of the blog.  I have an image of wooden blocks being tugged free, blog tilting toward channel, and then a hurtling rush ending with a spray of water.  In other words, we just got launched and we're bobbing cheerfully next to the pier.
I'm a maritime attorney with a practice in New York and offices up and down the East Coast.  In fact, we're just opening an office in Newport, RI.  I grew up in Rhode Island so I have a soft-spot for its coastline, Del's, Johnny-Cakes, the whole bit.  I like driving boats and did so commercially up through college.  I still keep my license current in case one day, as I tell my wife sometimes after a couple of beers, I decide to leave the office life behind!  My thanks to Safe/Sea for inviting me to post my occasional musings, and my aim is to share some of the legal oddities that the maritime law offers and which make the practice interesting.
