Excerpt from Law and Practice of General Average in the United States This brief summary of the law and practice of General Average in the United States was prepared as an appendix to the Fifth Edition of Lowndes's treatise on General Average, recently published in London, and is here reprinted for private circulation, by the kind permission of the Editors and Publishers of that work. A few minor alterations and additions have been made; otherwise the text is as it stands in Lowndes. An index of cases and of subjects has been prepared especially for this edition. In the limited space available, an attempt has been made to give a fairly complete treatment only of the more important and disputed questions of General Average, notably those involving the authority for the sacrifice, negligent navigation, salvage, substituted expenses, etc. The recent changes and development of the law have been in these branches, and their further growth is a subject of great interest to adjusters, underwriters, and to shipping interests generally. It has seemed unnecessary to deal with the subjects of capture, embargo and ransom; and bottomry and sale of cargo to raise funds have been treated very briefly. Cases of General Average involving these matters are now rare; and when they do arise present conditions are so different from those of a prior generation that each case will have to be dealt with on its own facts and circumstances. In other respects, it is hoped that the rules of law and practice will be found to be adequately, if not fully, set forth and explained; and that the legal authorities, where any exist, are correctly cited in the footnotes in support of the statements in the text. Limitations of space, as well as of time, have prevented as ample a treatment as the subject of General Average deserves, and the author hopes that the future may afford him an opportunity to expand this summary into a complete treatise. For assistance in the preparation of the present volume the author is under many obligations to his associates of the average adjusting staff of Johnson & Higgins.

Professor Litman's work stands out as well-researched, doctrinally solid, and always piercingly well-written.-JANE GINSBURG, Morton L. Janklow Professor of Literary and Artistic Property, Columbia UniversityLitman's work is distinctive in several respects: in her informed historical perspective on copyright law and its legislative policy; her remarkable ability to translate complicated copyright concepts and their implications into plain English; her willingness to study, understand, and take seriously what ordinary people think copyright law means; and her creativity in formulating alternatives to the copyright quagmire. -PAMELA SAMUELSON, Professor of Law and Information Management; Director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology, University of California, BerkeleyIn 1998, copyright lobbyists succeeded in persuading Congress to enact laws greatly expanding copyright owners' control over individuals' private uses of their works. The efforts to enforce these new rights have resulted in highly publicized legal battles between established media and new upstarts.In this enlightening and well-argued book, law professor Jessica Litman questions whether copyright laws crafted by lawyers and their lobbyists really make sense for the vast majority of us. Should every interaction between ordinary consumers and copyright-protected works be restricted by law? Is it practical to enforce such laws, or expect consumers to obey them? What are the effects of such laws on the exchange of information in a free society?Litman's critique exposes the 1998 copyright law as an incoherent patchwork. She argues for reforms that reflect common sense and the way people actually behave in their daily digital interactions.This paperback edition includes an afterword that comments on recent developments, such as the end of the Napster story, the rise of peer-to-peer file sharing, the escalation of a full-fledged copyright war, the filing of lawsuits against thousands of individuals, and the June 2005 Supreme Court decision in the Grokster case.Jessica Litman (Ann Arbor, MI) is professor of law at Wayne State University and a widely recognized expert on copyright law.
A starting point for the study of the English Constitution and comparative constitutional law, The Law of the Constitution elucidates the guiding principles of the modern constitution of England: the legislative sovereignty of Parliament, the rule of law, and the binding force of unwritten conventions.
