The Maritime Law Association of the United States (MLAUS) is an American maritime law organization. It is the United States' representative in the Comité Maritime International.[1]
Activities[edit]
The association was formed in 1899 with the goal of having the United States become part of a globally unified maritime law system.[2] While they do not lobby,[3] they have written resolutions endorsing certain political[4][5] (such as a congressional overturn of Wilburn Boat)[6] and judicial decisions.[7]
They have been strong supporters of US ratification of UNCLOS[8] and the Rotterdam Rules.[3]
The MLAUS has multiple committees for specialties within maritime law. It also has a proctor credential program for experienced maritime attorneys.[9]
