Air and Space Law, LL.M.

It is the first and only LL.M. program in the U.S. offering a combined air and space law postgraduate law degree at an ABA accredited law school. It is intended for students and practitioners who seek substantive expertise in the field and who seek to draft a publishable work of scholarly literature on air and/or space law. Students must take at least air law and one space law class, after which they may choose any combination of classes they wish.
