Overview
This course addresses the seismic change in U.S. space law that took place in 2015 when the Federal Government created federal jurisdiction for space disputes and mandated a federal cross-waiver. This change raised significant and unresolved pre-emption, choice of law, and forum shopping issues.
Join attorney Maria-Vittoria Carminati for this unique course that addresses these issues by identifying analytical frameworks and possible outcomes. The course also includes a review of federal law, state law, and international law (where relevant).
Learning Objectives:
- Dissect the contents of the 2015 Competitiveness Act
- Identify and applying the pre-emption issues raised by the Act
- Analyze the interplay between state and federal choice of law rules
- Address the jurisdictional gaps created by the FAA's partial jurisdiction over space activities
