This full-year seminar is designed to provide an in-depth exploration of a topic relating to law innovation both through in-depth interactions in class and by acting as the staff for the Journal of Law and Innovation. During the fall semester, the class will convene as a typical seminar, with the readings focusing on the topic of that particular year’s symposium and will culminate in hosting the annual symposium. The fall semester grade will be based on class participation and a series of short papers. The work of the spring semester will consist of editing the symposium papers for publication and will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis.
The topic for this year’s seminar is satellite and space law.
Spring semester enrollment is limited to students who successfully participated in the writing competition held the previous spring or in unusual circumstances by permission of the instructor.
