Purpose and Scope
At our Faculty, established in 2017, educational activities are carried out with the aim of training legal professionals who will serve in judicial and administrative positions, who will work in all branches of law both nationally and internationally, whether as practitioners or academics, capable of conducting scientific research, respectful of our national values, committed to Atatürk’s principles and reforms, modern, and equipped with creative thinking and reasoning abilities.
In line with this goal, besides fundamental legal education, both public and private law are taught at an advanced level, and legal professionals are trained to serve successfully in all branches of law, nationally and internationally.
Additionally, considering our country’s significant needs in the field of maritime and maritime law due to its geographical location, and given the University’s close relationship with the maritime sector, as well as its status as an educational institution with Turkey’s strongest maritime experts, and its membership in the IAMU (International Association of Maritime Universities) and its previous presidency of BSAMI (Black Sea Association of Maritime Institutions), special importance is given to Maritime Law.
It is indisputable that, within “Public Maritime Law,” subjects such as territorial waters, exclusive economic zones, continental shelves, the legal status of the Turkish Straits, and issues such as the prevention of terrorism and piracy at sea, hold significant importance for Turkey.
Moreover, it is also well known that the “Private Maritime Law,” which deals with various issues encountered by the Turkish merchant fleet — a vital contributor to the national economy — is of great value to Turkey.
Taking these reasons into account, our educational activities aim to train expert legal professionals in the fields of Public and Private Maritime Law, capable of protecting and defending Turkey’s maritime interests and those of the Turkish maritime sector, both domestically and internationally, and in all countries where Turkish ships operate.
Within this framework, to contribute to the development of “Turkish Maritime Law,” Pîrî Reis University Maritime Law Practice and Research Center was established in 2018 and continues its work.
Additionally, to identify issues concerning Turkey and Turkish maritime matters at international maritime organizations, and to offer scientific opinions to official authorities before these organizations’ sessions, as well as to assist legal scholars who wish to conduct academic studies on new topics, a separate initiative was launched at our Faculty. For this purpose, two faculty members from Public Law and Private Law fields and two research assistants were appointed to monitor CMI (Comité Maritime International) and IMO-LEG-MEPC (International Maritime Organization Legal Committee & Marine Environment Protection Committee) studies. Informative meetings regarding these topics are held regularly.
Our first Master’s program was also launched in the field of Maritime Law and continues its educational activities.
In addition to our Master’s program, an application has been submitted to the Higher Education Council (YÖK) to open a Maritime Law Doctorate Program.
Meanwhile, within the scope of International Cooperation Studies, our membership in ELFA (European Law Faculties Association) continues, and collaborations with the University of Swansea, The Institute of International Shipping & Trade Law are ongoing. An application for membership has also been submitted to ELI (European Law Institute).
Alongside the activities mentioned above, and considering our country’s maritime-related interests, the peer-reviewed Pîrî Reis University Maritime Law Journal will be published twice a year, featuring qualified articles.
In this way, it will be possible to inform our esteemed colleagues about developments in maritime law and create a platform where national and international maritime law issues can be discussed and solutions proposed.
Therefore, we believe that the contribution of our esteemed colleagues and academics, by submitting articles and sharing their opinions and analyses on Turkish and foreign court decisions, will help strengthen the journal’s connection with professionals. This will provide a new opportunity to achieve our aim of contributing to the development of Turkish maritime law.
We hope the journal will be beneficial to all our colleagues and to our country.
