Global Adventures in Space Law
Way back in January, to start off 2006, I posted a roundup of coming attractions in space law. (Later I added posts covering a bunch of other events such as the ECSL's practitioners forum, a new space law continuing legal education course, and more.)
Now it's April; those happenings are history. Space-time sure flies. Ready for some new space law events to plug into your handheld?
This time, a quick line-up of global (non US) space law-related activities, coming soon (or starting today) on the home planet, if you feel like jetting around.
(And if you're looking for a few US space-related destinations, scroll down. Me? I'm stuck in NYC most of the time and never do manage to get out enough. Oh well.)
(By the way, hat tip to the International Institute of Space Law's newsletter No. 69 (December 2005), and the European Centre for Space Law for some of this information.)
I will post updates, changes and additional links, as available.
