Lawyers Weekly Podcast Network Space law's headline legal quandaries, from governance to junk
Space law "doesn't fit into a neat box", spanning multiple legal disciplines. For those practising space law, this brings not only myriad challenges but also opportunities.
In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Bartier Perry associate Samantha Pacchiarotta about how she became passionate about space law, the state of affairs in this area and how the volume of work will only become bigger, the legal issues pertaining to the proliferation of space junk, and legal questions around incapacity, death, and inheritance in space law.
Pacchiarotta also discusses how the law is slow to respond to space technology, governance concerns regarding space law, the commercialisation of space and its legal implications, what constitutes best practice in the face of the myriad challenges, and why others should consider working in space law.
