Admiralty Attorney Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I am about to begin my undergraduate studies at the University of Florida. I plan on majoring in political science with a minor in Spanish or foreign affairs. I plan on becoming a Maritime Attorney and would love more than anything to become a civilian maritime attorney for the coast guard. Can anyone attest to the difficulty of being able to get a career like this? Also, any personal stories from experience? I would just like to know how possible this dream is and how I can get there. Thanks! And thanks to all those who serve our country!

I'm a junior in high school and I've been thinking about what I want to do in the future.. I enjoy law and I'm great in science-based subjects, but science doesn't interest me as much as law... So basically, I'm thinking of what I should study in the future... People tell me that there are a lack of physicians in America and becoming a doctor would be easier to get a job. Also, I hear that there are many people studying to be a lawyer and that many of those people are graduating without jobs and are now out of work. Where can I find these statistics? What should I do?

I started a job about 4 months ago as a paralegal at a maritime and admiralty law firm. I absolutely hate it here as the main attorney and owner of the firm is a big tyrant and goes on rampages on everyone about the billing every month and yells at everyone about billing time! Obviously, he has $ signs in his eyes and does not care about his employees. In any case, a little while after I started, my fiance and I decided to move to another state, so we sold our house and will moving in 2 months. I always knew this job would be temporary because I hate it so much. I am tired of stressing each day about how I bill my time, as the owner keeps telling us that he is watching what we are entering each day. This job has stressed me out more than any other paralegal job I've had! I would like to quit today, honestly, but I don't want to burn the bridges. But, I know that I am quitting at the end of this month. So, if I gave 3 weeks notice, would that be too much? I would love to drop my notice in on Monday, but should I wait and only give 2 weeks?

I work in a small personal injury/admiralty law firm for over 3 years. I have learned so much here! However, my salary has not increased. The other legal assistant jobs out there are getting double of what I am getting now. The attorney that we share spaces said that the position that I had is the same as a paralegal. I know how prepare a case to go to court, ie. complaints, interrogatories, notices, productions and other few documents. However, I do not know if this can be considered a paralegal since the attorney is the who actually modify whatever I do. I really want a better job for the future. I have a kid, and I don't have any benefits here. Besides a speak fluent English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

All judges being a military tribunal in the Philippines are considered navy admirals. A judge must have the defendant volunteer both subject matter jurisdiction and in personam jurisdiction over to the court. It is the job of an attorney or judge to get the arrested party to sign some document so that happens for the judge is the bonding out contract, and for the attorney the power of attorney contract. All government actions are by contract Best response to always say and nothing more “I refuse to contract with you!” All government actions are by contract. Remain silent by not talking to a police officer, as he does not have legal authority to talk to you. Sovereigns do not have a last name, so never give it out, as a last name is fictional. Your first and middle hyphenated surname is your appellation. Do not allow to be addressed as Mister / Mr. in a court as they are reducing you from being a sovereign over them to a low ranking military personnel, as a judge is an admiral in court of admiralty jurisdiction using maritime law. The judge uses a letter or marque to become an inland privateer/pirate. A police officer’s badge is his letter or marque. Definition: Mister 2. 2) noun, naval a) the official form of address for subordinate or senior warrant officers b) the official form of address for all officers in a merchant ship, other than the captain c) navy the official form of address used by the commanding officer to his officers, esp to the more junior – Source: http://www.wordia.com/mister The Filipino people are delusional to think what they have are civilian courts in their country under the foreign principals of the Roman Catholic pope and Jesuits when in fact they are all military tribunals. The office of the President of the Philippines is that of a Rear Admiral being nothing less than a dictator, which is easily seen by the creation of Statutes and Regulations by Presidential Executive Orders without being voted on by the Congress of the Philippines. This is a very dangerous type of Government that can oppress all rights of the sovereign Filipino people. The reason you are in a military court being court marshaled is the judge address the defendant by the lowly military titles of Mr., Miss, Ms, and Mrs. If you were in a court under the original republic you would be address as sovran, but the public is brainwashed to accept their loss of rights without knowing it has happened for most.
