Here's a highlight - thank you for a great year!

"Professor Davies said it best at the end-of-year banquet held last week: The Tulane Maritime Law Journal publishes "come hell or high water", comparing our Journal to the Times Picayune's Pulitzer-prize winning coverage of Hurricane Katrina despite the chaos that ensued after the storm. We've weathered our own storm during the Covid-19 pandemic and still found success: our Junior Members writing Case Notes and Comments, our Senior Members meticulously editing, and publishing three issues of the Journal during an unprecedented school year. Despite remote-learning and immense uncertainty, we've maintained the Journal's standard of excellence during an incredibly difficult year. We have a lot to celebrate and look forward to, and I thank you for your continued interest in the Journal's success."
