Admiralty

The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit's admiralty docket was not particularly active this year, perhaps reflecting the state of the maritime practice. Interestingly, it was a good year for district court judges in the circuit, as the Eleventh Circuit affirmed nearly all of the lower courts' maritime decisions in the context of sovereign immunity, maritime statutes of limitation, jurisdiction, international carrier bonds, limitation of liability, allision, maritime liens, choice of law, and pollution.
