Reviews

Although the title - Modern Maritime Law - might suggest the author considers modern aspects of maritime law, what is modern is actually her approach to the analysis of the problems. - Professor Francesco Berlingieri for International Maritime Law (Vol 20, No. 1, 2014) This is a book of a monumental work, which should grace the shelves of all shipping law firms, P&I Clubs and shipping law chambers with an interest in modern maritime law and/or risk management. - Jeremy J. Thomas, Partner, Constant & Constant 1977 - 2007 & TLT LLP 2007-14

Author Information

Dr Aleka Mandaraka-Sheppard (LLB, LLM, PhD, Dip.IArb), is a dually qualified lawyer (Greece and England) and was formerly a practising solicitor in the City of London, Head of the Shipping Law Unit, UCL, and Visiting Professor of Maritime law. She is the Founder and Chairman of the London Shipping Law Centre - Maritime Business Forum and practises as a Maritime Arbitrator and Mediator. Her passion has been in promoting risk management education since 1998 through the LSLC and privately to shipping companies in-house. This book was inspired by her teaching and practice in maritime law. Her students gave her great encouragement to write it and continue its editions. In her early years of studies in the UK, apart from her interest in shipping, she carried out research in organisational behaviour and published The dynamics of aggression in women's prisons (1986), which gave her insights in causes of conflict, ways of resolving difficult conflict situations, and the effect of regulations on deterrence, or aggravation, of misbehaviour. Her knowledge in this area has provided the backbone in her practice as a lawyer, educator, writer, arbitrator, mediator and risk management advisor.
