ABSTRACT
This writer is among the many collaborators who have enjoyed an association
with Professor David Attard – eminent international lawyer, scholar and friend. In
joint initiatives and projects between the International Maritime Law Institute
(IMLI) and Yale, Harvard or the Marine Law Institute of the University of Maine
School of Law, he has been a driving force in numerous Malta-America academic
initiatives. By building relations between Malta and the overseas world, Professor
Attard has established academic and institutional ties that continue to enhance
learning, research and that generate transnational collegiality.
