PHPNerd writes "Over at space.com is an interesting article about the first space lawyer to graduate, and the field to which he enters, Space Law. He graduates from the University of Mississippi. From the article:

Any future space lawyer might have to deal with issues ranging from the fallout over satellite shoot-downs to legal disputes between astronauts onboard the International Space Station. The expanding privatization of the space sector may also pose new legal challenges... "We are particularly proud to be offering these space law certificates for the first time, since ours is the only program of its kind in the U.S. and only one of two in North America," said Samuel Davis, law dean at the University of Mississippi.
What do you think about a degree in Space Law? Is it actually necessary, or is it about time we started training people in this field?"
