Admiralty and Maritime Collection

The Admiralty and Maritime Collection is due in large part to a group donation. This collection was named the 'Judge John R. Brown Collection' in honor of Judge John R. Brown, a Fifth Circuit judge who was a local admiralty and maritime attorney. The collection was lost during Tropical Storm Allison. Under the auspices of the Albertus Project, the O'Quinn Law Library is rebuilding this collection. To date, there are approximately 350 items in the admiralty and maritime collection that are currently accessible. For research purposes, a copy of a pre Tropical Storm Allison Admiralty and Maritime Bibliography can be found here.

For information about the benefactor of this collection please reference; his biographical data, autobiographical information, and a satirical publication compiled by Judge Brown's former law clerks in honor of his 75th birthday.
