Space & Telecom Law

The First LL.M. of its Kind in the U.S.

Welcome to the University of Nebraska College of Law’s Space and Telecommunications Law Program! Our LL.M. degree is the first of its kind in the United States and the only degree of its kind in the world taught in English. We have an outstanding faculty, including Professor Frans von der Dunk and Professor Marvin Ammori, to teach you these "new frontier" areas of the law and other related topics too. We draw speakers from the Air Force, NASA, Federal Communications Commission, White House, DirecTV, US Strategic Command, Washington, D.C. law firm practice, academia, SpaceX, Clearwire, Skype, Virgin Galactic, and Boeing and many other companies and organizations to our conferences. Our library and classrooms are recently remodeled. We have a superb and welcoming staff.

Best regards,

Professor Matt Schaefer
