the consultant. He also touched briefly on the fee structures and the desirability of moderation therein.

Some 55 attendees at the meeting represented a wide spectrum of the marine world and provided a lively question-and-answer period at the conclusion of the presentation.

Mr. Hayden's views coincide with the purpose of The Society of

Marine Consultants, which is to fos- ter and advance the professionalism and integrity of its members, and to provide to the maritime industry a reliable source of professionally qualified consultants in all areas of marine expertise.

In view of the success of this first luncheon meeting, the Society is now tentatively planning a second, again with a recognized and knowl- edgeable speaker, for January 1985.

Marine Consultants' Society Hears

Paper On An Attorney's View

The Society of Marine Consul- tants held its first luncheon open to the public recently at the Whitehall

Club in New York City. The speaker was Richard P. Hayden, a part- ner in the well-known law firm of

Hill, Rivkins, Carey, Loesburg,

O'Brien, and Mulroy. The title of his talk was "The Role of the Ma- rine Consultant—An Attorney's

View."

The important elements of the talk were the need for profession- alism among consultants, the cer- tainty that each consultant is in- deed expert in the areas of claimed competency, and that he could pre- sent this expertise clearly to the court in which he was testifying. Mr.

Hayden also pointed out that rec- ords of individual testimony were now readily available to attorneys from computers, so that contradic- tory testimony in different cases could be fatal to the reputation of

Principals at recent luncheon meeting of The Society of Marine Consultants included (L to

R): Alfred E. Stanford, chairman of the Executive Committee; Capt. James C. Musser, executive director; and Richard P. Hayden, speaker.
