About Tulane Maritime Law Journal Online

The Tulane Maritime Law Journal is a student-edited law journal that includes scholarly works written by academics, practitioners, and students concerning current topics in admiralty and maritime law. This includes an annual section in international maritime law as well as periodic symposia on relevant topical areas in the field and quantum and collision surveys every other year. Published three times per year in print and once online, the Journal publishes scholarly works written by academics, practitioners, and law students. Readership spans over thirty-five countries, including private admiralty law firms, marine insurance companies, shipping lines, federal agencies, law school libraries, federal judges, and the United States Supreme Court. The Tulane Maritime Law Journal Online is published annually in the summer and features selected case notes written by Tulane law students.

The TMLJ was founded in 1973 and first published in 1975 as The Maritime Lawyer. Originally founded in conjunction with Tulane's student-run Maritime Law Society, the journal established its independence from the society in 1977 and in 1987 the name was changed to Tulane Maritime Law Journal to reflect its status as a student-edited law journal. The journal has included an annual section on international maritime law since 1997. Five volumes of the TMLJ have been cited by the United States Supreme Court (13, 17, 18, 20, 35).
