Introduction This article discusses noteworthy and interesting admiralty and maritime decisions issued by federal and state courts in the United States between October 1, 2017, and September 30, 2018. The selection includes cases involving seamen, longshoremen, passengers, maritime liens and attach- ments, oil pollution, salvage, marine insurance, marine contracts, and many cases addressing other issues that arise in the practice of maritime law. Of particular note, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the availability of punitive dam- ages to seamen in unseaworthiness actions in a case that is now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. In In re: Larry Doiron, Inc.,1 the Fifth Cir- cuit set forth a new two-prong test to determine whether a contract is maritime in nature. 1. 879 F.3d 568, 575-76 (5th Cir. 2018) (en banc); writ denied 138 S. Ct. 2033 (May 21, 2018) (Mem). TIPS_54-2.indd 270 6/21/19 1:39 PM Recent Developments in Admiralty and Maritime Law 271 II. Seamen’S Claims A. Jones Act2 and Unseaworthiness3 In an issue “of considerable importance in maritime law,” the Ninth Cir- cuit addressed the availability of punitive damages for unseaworthiness in Batterton v. Dutra.4 The Ninth Circuit held that punitive damages are awardable to seamen for injuries in general maritime unseaworthiness actions.5 The Ninth Circuit determined that not only did Miles v. Apex Marine Corp.6 not implicitly overrule the its previous decision in Evich v. Morris,7 which permitted punitive damages for unseaworthiness in death cases, but also that Atlantic Sounding Co. v. Townsend8 made clear that the statutes which restricted compensation for pecuniary losses did not apply to punitive damages claims.9 In Knudson v. M/V AMERICAN SPIRIT, the Eastern District of Michi- gan likewise held that a seaman plaintiff can be awarded punitive damages in an unseaworthiness claim against the vessel owner. 10 The court reasoned that since Congress has not legislated to limit recovery of nonpecuniary loss in a seaman’s action for non-fatal injuries, the plaintiff could seek puni- tive damages for personal injuries in his unseaworthiness claim.11 B. Maintenance and Cure12 In Joyce v. Maersk Line Ltd, the Third Circuit, sitting en banc, broke with its own precedent and adopted the majority position regarding the 2. The Jones Act, originally passed in 1920, grants seamen who suffered personal injury in the course of their employment the right to seek damages in a jury trial against their employ- ers. Thomas J. Schoenbaum, Admiralty and Maritime Law § 6-21 (5th ed. 2017 Update) (cit- ing The Jones Act, formerly codified at 46 U.S.C. § 688, since 2008 the Jones Act is codified in 46 U.S.C. § 30104). The elements of a Jones Act claim are (1) that the claimant is a seaman; (2) that he or she suffered injury or death in the courts of his or her employment; (3) that the seaman’s employer was negligent; and (4) that the employer’s negligence caused the injury at least in part. Id. 3. Unseaworthiness is the concept “that the vessel and her owner are . liable . for injuries received by a seaman in consequence of the unseaworthiness of the ship, or a failure to supply and keep in order the proper appliances appurtenant to the ship.” Schoenbaum, supra, at § 6-25 (citing The Osceola, 189 U.S. 158 (1903)). In order to state a cause of action for unseaworthiness, a plaintiff must allege his injury was caused by a defective condition of the ship, its equipment or appurtenances. Id. 4. 880 F.3d 1089, 1090 (9th Cir. 2018). 5. Id. at 1096. 6. 498 U.S. 19 (1990). 7. 819 F.2d 256 (9th Cir. 1987). 8. 557 U.S. 404 (2009). 9. Id. at 1096. 10. Knudson v. M/V AMERICAN SPIRIT, 14-14854, 2017 WL 4786135, at *2 (E.D. Mich. Oct. 24, 2017), reconsideration denied sub nom. Knudson v. M/V Am. Spirit, 14-14854, 2017 WL 5499710 (E.D. Mich. Nov. 16, 2017). 11. Id. 12. Maintenance and cure is the obligation of a shipowner who employs seamen to care for them if they are injured or become ill while in the service of the ship. Schoenbaum, supra, at TIPS_54-2.indd 271 6/21/19 1:39 PM 272 Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Law Journal, Spring 2019 (54:2) enforceability of maintenance rates in collective bargaining agreements.13 Every other circuit to consider the issue has held that a union contract including rates of maintenance, cure, and unearned wages that is freely entered into by a seafarer will not be reviewed piecemeal by courts unless there is evidence of unfairness in the collective

FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world.

  • Concert Programs
    A direct connection with the audience is at the core of all of Third Coast Percussion’s work, whether the musicians are speaking from the stage about a new piece of music, inviting the audience to play along in a concert or educational performance, or inviting their fans around the world to create new music using one of their free mobile apps. Third Coast Percussion maintains a busy touring schedule, with past performances in 33 of the 50 states plus Canada, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland, and performances this season at BAM, Cal Performances, University Musical Society, the Krannert Center, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the Joyce Theater, and the ensemble’s first tour of Asia. The quartet’s curiosity and eclectic taste have led to a series of unlikely collaborations that have produced exciting new art. The ensemble has worked with engineers at the University of Notre Dame, architects at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, dancers at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and musicians from traditions ranging from the mbira music of Zimbabwe’s Shona people, to indie rockers, to some of the world’s leading concert musicians. A direct connection with the audience is at the core of all of Third Coast Percussion’s work A commission for a new work from composer Augusta Read Thomas in 2012 led to the realization that commissioning new mu- sical works can be—and should be—as collaborative as any other artistic partnership. Through extensive workshopping and close contact with composers, Third Coast Percussion has commissioned and premiered new works from Philip Glass, Devonté Hynes, Donnacha Dennehy, Glenn Kotche, Lei Liang, Gavin Bryars, Christopher Cerrone, and today’s leading up-and-coming composers through their Emerging Composers Partnership Program.

THE THIRD COAST Catherine J. Davis 27 Pages The Third Coast is a photographic exploration of the vernacular landscape of the US Gulf Coast. Stretching some 1,600 miles from the mouth of the Rio Grande in Texas to the Florida Everglades, America's southernmost shore is vast and complex. The region is a patchwork of both the natural and built environments, a tangled combination of history and geography, culture and ecology that reflects an intimate and ever-evolving relationship between man, land and sea. The Gulf Coast resists tidy hierarchies or easy classification. Rather, the rhythms of the region comprise its own syntax, a way in which seemingly dissimilar locations speak to one another with awareness and familiarity. More than just describing the landscape, this body of work looks to explore the Third Coast's visual vocabulary, it’s sense of place, and the recurrent themes that create the area's distinct material and cultural identity.

The Rockefeller Foundation–funded program, Ecological Conversations: DGender, Science, and the Sacred, has brought together a diverse group of scholars and activists to engage in scientific, political, and spiritual discourses raised by the global nexus of women’s and environmental movements. During the past two years, several UO faculty and graduate students have joined the conversation via an ongoing program seminar, a public lecture series, and CSWS-sponsored retreats and conferences. Creating a context where a diverse cohort of scholars are given the opportunity to interact and participate in an ongoing dialogue has had a catalytic impact on the work of all involved.
