Event details
Obstacles to the Creation of International Maritime Convention
This programme was designed specifically for students studying maritime law options at postgraduate level. However, undergraduate students and members of the public are welcome to attend the lectures on request.
One particular contribution of the Institute of Maritime Law to the one-year LL.M. course in Maritime Law is the popular series of lectures by visiting practitioners, which take place every Wednesday afternoon in the Autumn and Spring terms. The speakers are all from the shipping and marine insurance industries and give students an insight into how the legal principles studied in the modules of the LL.M. Programme are put into practice in the world of shipping and international trade. The Spring Programme usually includes a boat trip around Southampton Docks.
The lecturers are organised by Prof. M. Tsimplis (mnt@soton.ac.uk). If you are interested in attending any of the seminars please contact Mrs Nic Roberts (N.Roberts@soton.ac.uk), the IML secretary to confirm that there is space available on the particular week. If you are interested in speaking in the seminars please email Prof. M. Tsimplis (mnt@soton.ac.uk) for the availability over the next academic year 2013-2014.
