MASLU’s members include full time academics and Adjunct Professors; together they offer a wealth of practical and theoretical experience in international maritime law. MASLU works closely with the Queensland branch of MLAANZ, and sponsors conferences and seminars on current and emerging maritime issues. MASLU provides postgraduate level maritime law courses within the School’s Master of Laws and Master of Applied Law programs.
