The David W. Robertson Admiralty and Maritime Law Conference focuses on legal developments in the specialized area of admiralty and maritime law and offers a unique opportunity for practitioners to stay abreast of global and national developments affecting case law, contracts, and civil procedure.

Blank Rome senior counsel Michael K. Bell is a member of the conference’s Planning Committee.

Alan’s session, “Choice-of-Law Issues and Proof of Foreign Law in Collision Cases,” will take place from 4:05 to 4:35 p.m.

Alan will examine how courts analyze the choice of law factors of&nbsp;Lauritzen v. Larsen&nbsp;and its progeny in a vessel collision case, and the materials courts consider in determining foreign law, using as an example the litigation resulting from the collision of a United States warship in the Singapore Strait.
