The Future of Space Law and Governance

Presented by Humanity In Deep Space

Sponsored in part by Stites & Harbison, PLLC

Overview

This interdisciplinary workshop led by Michelle Hanlon will explore the evolving and diverse aspects of space exploration.

As humanity expands its presence beyond Earth, the need for practical legal and governance frameworks is becoming increasingly urgent. Addressing this new frontier requires thoughtful consideration of complex, interconnected issues, including intellectual property, ethics, lunar resource rights, space economics, planetary protection, and governance beyond Earth.

Led by Michelle Hanlon, Executive Director of the Air and Space Law Program at the University of Mississippi, this interdisciplinary workshop will explore the evolving challenges of space exploration and how Kentucky’s universities, educators, students, businesses, and policymakers can help position the Commonwealth as a leader in the rapidly growing global space law, policy, and governance sector.

Following the presentation Michelle will be joined by Ken Human, Space Consultant and Former NASA Chief Counsel, for questions and an open discussion.

This workshop is free, but registration is required. Space is limited. Register Early.
