Great speakers and course materials as always. Many thanks
Maybe video presentations.
Recent Developments of Admiralty Law was the best course. Other informative lectures were Judicial Perspectives. Unfortunately, the Arbitration Clause and Criminal Prosecution lectures were overbroad and lacked focus.
