reverse-Erie doctrine

Read a random definition: futhwite

A quick definition of reverse-Erie doctrine:

The reverse-Erie doctrine is a rule in maritime law that says a case can be brought in state court, but the state court must follow federal laws related to maritime issues. This means that even though the case is in state court, federal laws still apply. The Erie doctrine is a similar principle that applies to federal courts hearing cases that don't involve federal issues. In those cases, the federal court must apply the laws of the state where the court is located.

A more thorough explanation:

The reverse-Erie doctrine is a legal principle in maritime law that allows a case in admiralty and maritime jurisdiction to be brought in state court. However, the state court must follow federal statutory and general maritime law.

For example, in the case of Offshore Logistics, Inc. v. Tallentire, a dispute arose between a maritime worker and his employer. The worker filed a lawsuit in state court, and the court applied federal maritime law to the case, as required by the reverse-Erie doctrine.

The reverse-Erie doctrine is the opposite of the Erie doctrine, which applies to cases that do not involve a federal question. Under the Erie doctrine, a federal court exercising diversity jurisdiction must apply the substantive law of the state where the court sits.

Overall, the reverse-Erie doctrine ensures that maritime cases can be heard in state court while still maintaining consistency with federal law.
