About the Air Law Institute
The Air Law Institute was formed to advance the study of air and space at the intersection of business, law, and engineering. The Air Law Institute does this by partnering with centers of excellence in all three focus areas at the primary, secondary, and university levels to promote and fund educational opportunities for students. The Air Law Institute also provides a forum for discussion by industry leaders on the issues facing the future of Air & Space Law. The goal is to promote and provide a farm system of trained professionals ready to take on the very near and real changes expected in the next ten to twenty years while allowing current practicing experts to help define the next segment in the arc of aviation history.
The Air Law Institute, a 501.c.3 California Public Benefit Corporation, was founded in the spirit of the original Air Law Institute, founded in 1929 at Northwestern University Law School to foster the development of American air law and provide information about air law worldwide.
