The University of Mississippi

Center for Air and Space Law

The University of Mississippi has been the premier U.S. platform for Air and Space Law 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.

Our mission is to provide excellence in global legal scholarship and practice in the fields of air and space law while nurturing the development and implementation of pioneering and practical legal solutions to present and future issues facing humanity.  This includes:

  • Developing the legal foundation to bridge humanity’s evolution from a terrestrial to a spacefaring species.
  • Developing and fostering the implementation of standards for advancing technologies.
  • Understanding and addressing cybersecurity issues in both aviation and space.
  • Promoting rule of law as a benefit for nation-states and their commercial actors operating in air and space domains.
