Air and Space Law LL.M.

A degree designed for both U.S. and foreign-trained law school graduates interested in a rigorous legal curriculum in U.S., international, and comparative air and space law.

About the LL.M. (Master of Laws) in Air and Space Law

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.

Students can choose from two tracks – Thesis or Non-Thesis.

Thesis track (25,000 to 30,000 word paper) requires 8 thesis credits plus 18 class credits (6 classes). Thesis credits are designed to be broken down over multiple semesters (MTI – 1 credit; MTII – 1 credit; MTIII – 6 credits). Alternatively, all 8 thesis credits can be taken at once.

Non-Thesis track (12,000 to 15,000 word paper) requires 5 thesis credits plus 21 class credits (7 classes). Non-Thesis credits are designed to be broken down over multiple semesters (MTI – 1 credit; MTII – 1 credit; MTIII – 3 credits). Alternatively, all 5 thesis credits can be taken at once.
