The University of Mississippi is the premier U.S. platform for Air and Space Law and has been a world leader in air and space law education, research and public service since 1965. We are the only ABA accredited law school to offer an LL.M. in Air and Space Law and six different classes focused on space law. Our space curriculum is complemented by an equally impressive roster of aviation law classes — all taught by expert academics and practitioners. All our core courses are taught by attorneys who are active members of US State bars and licensed to practice law in the United States.
As the trusted source of advice for national and global decision makers on air and space law matters, the Center for Air and Space Law enjoys a long tradition of excellence in global legal scholarship and practice in the fields of air law, drone law and space law.
