A Maritime, Longshore and Defense Base Act Blog

Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Roberts v. Sea-Land Services.  For those who may be interested in the hearing transcript or an audio recording of the hearing, look no further than the Supreme Court’s website.  You can find the audio recording at this link.  The transcript is here.  Finally, there is an interesting SCOTUSblog article by Jack Martone discussing the oral arguments and the Court’s trouble with defining the term “award” for purposes of Section 6 of the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act.
