A quick definition of admiralty law:

Admiralty law is a set of rules that governs everything related to ships and boats. This includes how goods and people are transported by water, how ships are bought and rented, how crews are hired and taken care of, and how ships are insured. It's like a big book of laws that helps keep everything safe and fair when it comes to traveling and doing business on the water.

A more thorough explanation:

Admiralty law is a set of rules that governs activities related to the sea, such as maritime commerce and navigation. It covers a wide range of legal issues, including the transport of goods and passengers by water, the purchase and charter of vessels, the hiring and maintenance of officers and crew, the transportation of people and goods, the navigation of vessels, and the insurance of vessels, people, and cargo.

For example, if a cargo ship is damaged during a storm, admiralty law would determine who is responsible for the damage and how much compensation should be paid. Similarly, if a passenger is injured while on a cruise ship, admiralty law would determine whether the cruise line is liable for the injury and how much compensation should be paid.

Admiralty law is important because it helps to ensure that maritime activities are conducted safely and fairly. It provides a framework for resolving disputes and protecting the rights of all parties involved in maritime commerce and navigation.

they're arguing on the lawschooladmissions reddit rn about not applying to law school if you score below 150
guys i'll only say this one: do NOT apply to law school if you are only 150 rats in a trench coat pretending to be a person. everyone knows 150+ rats are needed to pass as a human being.
