 Laws
established by the legislature. Laws dictate how we as a society act
in concert to protective ourselves, our families, business and civil
rights. There are two forms of laws criminal and civil (common).
Another form of law is international law which controls how nations
interact with one another.
"Maritime
law or admiralty
law is
a body of law that
governs nautical issues and private maritime disputes. Admiralty law
consists of both domestic law on maritime activities, and private
international law governing
the relationships between private parties operating or using ocean-going
ships. While each legal jurisdiction usually has its own legislation
governing maritime matters, the international nature of the topic and
the need for uniformity has, since 1900, led to considerable
international maritime law developments, including numerous multilateral treaties."
