Laws of Amalfi

Read a random definition: scrap value

A quick definition of Laws of Amalfi:

The Laws of Amalfi, also known as the Amalphitan Code, are a set of laws that were created in the medieval town of Amalfi in Italy. These laws were used to govern trade and commerce in the region and were considered to be very important in the development of maritime law.

A more thorough explanation:

The Laws of Amalfi, also known as the Amalphitan Code, were a set of maritime laws created in the 11th century in the town of Amalfi, Italy. These laws were used to regulate trade and shipping in the Mediterranean Sea.

For example, one of the laws stated that if a ship was damaged during a storm, the crew and cargo should be saved before the ship itself. This was to ensure the safety of human life and valuable goods.

Another law stated that if a sailor was injured while working on a ship, they were entitled to compensation from the ship's owner. This was to protect the rights and well-being of the sailors who risked their lives at sea.

These examples illustrate how the Laws of Amalfi were designed to promote safety and fairness in maritime trade. They were an important step in the development of international maritime law and influenced similar codes in other parts of the world.

@triplethread: slore! And to people with decentish stats (sorry 3.6/162 people), do not get down about one school. The historical meta in relation to this is you can submit all 14 and say expect 6 As based on previous data, but you do not get to pick - maybe cornell outright Rs ya and HY A with a SLS WL lol
