OXFORD,
\nMiss. – A semester-long collaboration between University of Mississippi
\nspace law students and Massachusetts Institute of Technology
\nengineering students is helping prepare both groups for the challenges
\nthey will face in space-related careers.<\/p>\n

The project requires
\nthe students to create a series of proposals on two different
\nspace-related issues. The idea for the collaboration originated from a
\nconversation between Joanne Gabrynowicz, director of the National
\nCenter for Remote Sensing, Air, and Space Law at the UM School of Law,
\nand Annalisa Weigel, MIT assistant professor of aeronautics and
\nastronautics and of engineering systems.<\/p>\n

The law students
\nbenefit by learning about the needs and mind-set of engineers, since
\nsome of them may end up representing space engineers in their careers,
\nGabrynowicz said.<\/p>\n

“Our students will act as legal advisers to the engineering students,
\nwho have to make decisions regarding their projects involving the
\nInternational Space Station and Earth observation satellites,” she
\nsaid. “The idea is that space projects are impacted by the legal
\nagreements that govern them, and the engineers carrying out the
\nprojects need to know about them.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Weigel, who visited Ole Miss recently and spoke to the law students, said engineers often view law and policy as constraints on their work.<\/p>\n

“They don’t tend to develop a really deep understanding of why those constraints exist,” she said, adding that this project is a unique opportunity for engineering students to get a different perspective.<\/p>\n

“For my engineering students to have exposure to law students and to the mind-set of a lawyer will be phenomenal,” she said. “MIT doesn’t have a law school, so this is a perspective that they wouldn’t otherwise be getting on campus, but it certainly is one that they will run into in their careers, and I think it is important for them to understand that.”<\/p>\n

Nicholas Welly of Oxford, a second-year law student in the space law program, said the projects will give him and the other law students an opportunity to see what it is like to work with a client.<\/p>\n

\n“This will give us a really good opportunity to look at what requirements a client might have and help us tailor the products we make as law students to meet their needs,” he said.<\/p>\n

Second-year law student John Wood of Atlanta, whose emphasis is in aviation law, agrees that the project is a chance to gain real-world experience.<\/p>\n

“This field is really international, and the students we are working with will have different perspectives,” he said. “This is really a mock client-attorney relationship, and just getting to interact with them in that setting mimics real-world experience and how practicing international aviation or space law will be.”<\/p>\n

As part of the project, Gabrynowicz plans to visit Weigel’s MIT class in March to share her knowledge of space law. The law students’ goal is to provide guidance on legal issues, while the MIT students will offer technical expertise in assessing the engineering, technical and policy issues related to their proposed scenarios.<\/p>\n
