10:30 – 11:30 a.m — Space Law 2025: A Primer for Lawyers and Law Librarians, with Charles Lee Mudd, Jr in the Mission Control Theatre.
Though an area of practice for more than 60 years, space law quite arguably could be considered a nuanced and very specialized area of law. For this reason, even among law students, lawyers, and law librarians, it could easily be a foreign concept. Yet, with the recent growth in the commercial space sector over the last several years, more individuals seek information and knowledge about the laws that govern satellites, technology, and the exploration of our universe. And so, “Space Law” has experienced a re-awakening of its own. This presentation will provide an overview of space law, the primary international sources for space law, additional resources, the primary issues, and a perspective on the future of space law and policy. At the end, attendees will possess sufficient information to explore this area of law further for themselves as well as guiding others to explore the laws and policy related to space – our final frontier.
