Methodology in Maritime Law

Note: There is more information on maritime/admiralty law here.

The following is a definition of Methodology, produced by Tetley, in the context of admiralty law: A fifth approach to solving conflict of laws problems, which permits the identification of the “properly applicable law” (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary). A methodology of this kind is described in Tetley, Int’l. C. of L., 1994 at pp. 35-43, and is presented as a consistent, logical system for resolving conflicts problems, preferable to, but building upon, the four traditional approaches to solving such problems, outlined and criticized ibid. at pp. 3-34 (viz., single concepts or principles; multiple numbered rules; general texts, commentaries and essays; and national legislation and international conventions).
