Most of Ms. Africk’s work focuses on complex litigation involving maritime law and related coverage issues.

Ms. Africk has been involved in numerous personal injury and fatality cases involving challenging coverage issues.  Recently, summary judgment was obtained in a hotly contested helicopter crash case wherein the presiding U.S. District Court Judge adopted much of Ms. Africk’s reasoning in his final opinion. 

Ms. Africk applies the same tenacity and determination to her cases that she applies to her long distance running.  Although it may take a while a get there, she is always focused on the ultimate goal and successfully crossing the finish line. 

She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1984 from Tulane University / Newcomb College, and she obtained both a Masters of Social Work and Juris Doctor degree in 1999 from Tulane School of Social Work and Tulane Law School.  She is a member of the Louisiana Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association, the New Orleans Bar Association, and the Tulane Inns of Court.
