STUDENTS' PAPERS, 2005
Introduction

As an assignment in 2005, LLM (Shipping Law) students were asked (1) to discuss Professor Bill Tetley's "Third Alternative" in relation to The Starsin; and (2) to examine issues related to Marine Insurance in the light of the CMI draft guidelines. We have chosen a paper from some of the 12 countries represented in the class and we hope they are useful to others studying these topics. In each case the student's email address is given and readers are welcome to contact the authors direct.

Shipping Law staff and students are constantly engaged in research in their fields. This research takes the form of consultancy, published texts, and unpublished dissertations submitted as a requirement for the Graduate Diploma in Law (10 000 words) and the LLM (20 000 words).

Other research materials are presented as Staff Publications and Research Dissertations (Shipping Law topics and Marine/Environmental Law topics), where possible with synopses, and with the full texts of selected dissertations.

Our website enables us to reach a much larger readership, in turn making the research which we do and supervise all the more meaningful.

Please make use of the research texts on the site. We ask only that the source be fully disclosed, and that you let us have your comments by email. We would be happy to let you have copies of works not on the website in full, but which we have stored electronically.

We have set up a section of the site dedicated to Electronic Document Interchange in a maritime context. Our EDI page links to research conducted by the Shipping Law Unit, and to other WWW sites relevant to EDI. We have the full text of the CMI Rules on Electronic Data Interchange - Appendix A: Electronic Bills of Lading, and a link to the UNCITRAL (United National Commission on International Trade Law). A link to BOLERO is also given.
