On Thursday, September 23^rd, Prof. Mark J. Sundahl organized and moderated a panel on “Building Capacity in Space Law: An American Experience” as part of the Space Education and Strategic Applications Conference hosted by the Policy Studies Organization and the American Public University. 

During the panel, Professor Sundahl highlighted the work of CMLAW’s Global Space Law Center to train the next generation of space lawyers to provide the legal expertise needed by private companies and government agencies as the space industry expands into suborbital, orbital, and cislunar space. Professor Sundahl was joined on the panel by current and former students Hailey Hillsman ’22, Stephen Robison ’20, and Scott Parry ’12 who shared their experiences studying space law at Cleveland-Marshall.

Other panelists included Steven Freeland (Western Sydney University), and Michael Dodge (University of North Dakota). A video recording of the panel can be viewed here.
