Lewins, Kate --- "Editorial" [2007] ANZMarLawJl 1; (2007) 21(1) Australian and New Zealand Maritime Law Journal i

EDITORIAL

This is the first issue of the second edition of Australian & New Zealand Maritime Law Journal - previously known as the MLAANZ Journal. From 2007 onwards, we aim to produce two issues a year, with one scheduled for March/April, the other for September/October.

Once again I would like to thank the Editorial Board for their support; particularly the efforts of the editors of the various sections, Dr Sarah Derrington, Paul Myburgh and Dr Michael Underdown. I must also acknowledge the debt owed by any journal to its reviewers – without which the journal cannot function. My grateful thanks to you. To the student editor for this edition, Kylie Weir, I give my sincere thanks for your patience and unerring dedication to the task at hand. Finally, thanks should go to Megan Ashford, a former student editor, who, despite the fact that she has now graduated and is working as an articled clerk, willingly assisted with this edition.

For the next two issues, I will be giving the hot seat to Sarah Derrington and Paul Myburgh while I am on sabbatical leave and long service leave. My thanks to them for agreeing to take on that role in my absence.

I trust that you find something of interest in this issue.
