Three lawyers from disparate backgrounds have published the first comprehensive, introductory guide to the law’s newest frontier: outer space.
Matthew Kleiman, Jenifer Lamie, and Maria-Vittoria Carminati came from very different legal orbits to create The Laws of Spaceflight: A Guidebook for New Space Lawyers (American Bar Association, 2012). Kleiman is a professor of space law at Boston University and general counsel at Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass. Lamie is a newly commissioned U.S. Army JAG Corps attorney and recent graduate of the LL.M. program of the University of Nebraska College of Law, where she specialized in space, cyber and telecommunications law, after attending Vermont Law School. And Carminati (who goes by “Giugi”) is an associate in the litigation practice at Weil, Gotshal & Manges in Houston, Texas.
