The JSD Program
The Doctor of the Science of Law at Nebraska Law was a doctoral degree for students wanting to pursue advanced research in Space Law and to produce a book-length thesis on a Space Law topic. This program broke new ground as the only doctoral-level space law program in the United States.
This degree program is no longer available and is not accepting any applications, but produced mutiple successful alumni and has current students completing their dissertations.
Research-focused and dissertation-based, the J.S.D. program required students to write a book-length thesis about an aspect of space law. The degree broadens opportunities for experienced lawyers and legal scholars to delve into the intricate and complex issues facing the regulation of outer space activities in an in-depth manner.
