A federal court exercising admiralty tort jurisdiction must find that the relevant “incident has a potentially disruptive impact on maritime commerce.” But the Supreme Court has offered little guidance on the contours of the potential-to-disrupt-maritime-commerce test, and lower-court decisions are hopelessly inconsistent. This presentation provides an overview and a critical analysis of the issue.
