This is the 1,000th issue of Lloyd’s Maritime Law Newsletter. LMLN was conceived in 1979 as a complementary publication to Lloyd’s Law Reports. Lloyd’s Law Reports is considered the essential reference tool for shipping law practitioners but there was a growing desire for a separate, newsletter-style, publication that could circulate summaries of important shipping cases within a much quicker timescale.
