Q: How did you get interested in maritime law?

A: I’ve always been fascinated by maritime law and its deep roots in history. One of the most enjoyable things I did on the bench was to create a maritime program for the judiciary. I gave the day-long program a hokey name, “A Primer on Maritime Law: How to be the Captain of your own Ship without Getting Motion Sickness.” A group of South Florida’s finest maritime lawyers made presentations and the program received rave reviews.
