Jur­is­dic­tion­al Splash­down: Should Avi­ation Torts Find Solace in Ad­mir­alty

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Albert Lin ex­am­ines wheth­er avi­ation tort claims can be ad­dressed through ad­mir­alty law and what that would mean for jur­is­dic­tion. The work fo­cuses on the legal re­la­tion­ship between aviation-related torts and the frame­work as­so­ci­ated with ad­mir­alty law.

Its fram­ing brings the in­ter­sec­tion between avi­ation torts and ad­mir­alty jur­is­dic­tion to the fore. The avail­able ma­ter­i­al does not sup­port a re­li­able ac­count of Lin’s method or ul­ti­mate con­clu­sion.
