MARITIME LAW SOCIETY
“WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BOARDING A CRUISE SHIP”
SPEAKER: Michael Black, Esq.
WHEN: Thursday, February 16, 2006 12:30 to 2:00 p.m.
WHERE: Room E265
NOTE: Complimentary pizza and soda
Michael Black is a local maritime attorney who specializes in cruise line personal injury, representing passengers and crew injured on ships. He is a partner in the law firm of Cassidy & Black, P.A. Mr. Black received his J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law in 1995, and is a former Admiral of the school’s Maritime Law Society.
Maritime law, generally, involves incidents that occur on navigable waters. Navigable waters are those that can be used for commercial shipping, such as oceans, large lakes and rivers. In addition to the general maritime law, there are special laws that pertain just to cruise ships. Plan on taking a cruise in the future? Join us to learn how those laws may affect you!
We hope to see you there!
