Future Space Lawyers

Thursday, November 27th, 2014

ISPL is adding information to the website on a new page for future space lawyers. The FAQs about the field, how to train and who to talk to, links to other institutions and how to get started in a career in space law and policy will be on the Students page.

Students of law, engineering and science, medicine, environmental fields, and many other disciplines are asking us about how to include space law and space policy in their educational path. Our aim is to help show the way to taking a place in the space sector.

We’ll be adding to the page as new queries come in, so please contact us if you have a specific question or an area of interest.

This was an incredible achievement from the team, and although the lander has now gone silent, the mission has been a great success.   The image below illustrates how difficult was the task, and how amazing the results.
