Profit Or Safety: Where Is Outer Space Headed?, Paul B. Larsen
Journal of Air Law and Commerce
The space powers (the U.S., the European Space Agency (ESA), China, and Russia) are now preparing national space traffic regimes with insufficient regard for the Outer Space Treaty’s (OST) agreed “Principles Governing the Activities of States in Exploration and Use of Outer Space.” The rapidly growing traffic of satellites, resulting in space debris, and the scarcity of radio frequencies and related orbits create obvious dangerous situations. States, including the U.S., agreed in the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS) on twenty-one Guidelines for Long-Term Sustainability of Space, some of which relate to space traffic management …

Keeping Watch From Liftoff To Landing: A Call For Increased Public Education On The Intersection Of Human Trafficking And Commercial Air Travel, Gretchen Mahoney
Journal of Air Law and Commerce
Over the past two decades, multilateral organizations and the U.S. government have fought tirelessly to eradicate human trafficking. Drafting and passing protocols, resolutions, and statutes, these entities attempted to gain the upper hand by collecting and sharing data, bolstering victim services, and training agency officials, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges on the hallmarks of trafficking circumstances. While these efforts delivered results and are cause for celebration, data shows that human trafficking remains deeply established and operative across the world even with these thorough steps.
A crucial venue for exposing and disrupting trafficking operations is the transportation industry. Traffickers exploit …
International Aviation Law And Pandemic, 2021 University of Central Florida
International Aviation Law And Pandemic, Timothy Ravich
Journal of Air Law and Commerce
Commercial airplanes are vectors of infectious disease, advancing, if not sparking, global epidemics and potentially pandemics by exporting pathogens from endemic areas of the world to non-endemic places. For example, according to the global scientific community, the Zika virus was introduced to the Americas by air travel. Researchers also believe that infected mosquitos on international flights contributed to the worldwide spread of malaria, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, and the West Nile virus. Most recently, governmental authorities worldwide, in addition to issuing national or local shelter-in-place orders, closed their borders and grounded nearly all international air travel on account of the …

Programmed To Protect And Serve: The Dawn Of Drones And Robots In Law Enforcement, 2021 California State University - Northridge
Programmed To Protect And Serve: The Dawn Of Drones And Robots In Law Enforcement, Nanci K. Carr
Journal of Air Law and Commerce
No longer does the field of law enforcement rely solely on human cognition and capability as drones have become first responders, responding to emergency calls with a drone rather than a human officer. Drone technology can transform police work, just as it has package delivery and military strategy. These drone officers allow for higher law enforcement efficiency, safer communities, and even saved lives. However, they also raise civil liberty concerns given that the drones have the power to track vehicles and people without consent, and they can collect and store video records of everyday life, reducing expectations of privacy. This …
Rethinking Cyberspace Operations: Widespread Electromagnetic Jamming By States Indicates Cyber Interference Is Not A Use Of Force, 2021 U.S. Air Force JAG Corps
Rethinking Cyberspace Operations: Widespread Electromagnetic Jamming By States Indicates Cyber Interference Is Not A Use Of Force, Vincent L. Defabo
Journal of Air Law and Commerce
Determining if a cyberspace operation by a State actor is an act of war (i.e., use of force under the U.N. Charter) has led to a misguided approach. In 2012, twenty legal experts that published the Tallinn Manual got it wrong. By utilizing the “effects-based approach” they attempted to equate the effects a cyber operation causes to that of a missile to determine if a use of force has occurred. While their underlying premise, that existing international law should be applied to cyber operations, was sound, the analytical approach is flawed.
This paper explores how the analytical model used by …

In Flight Management - Committing To Destination, Aldo Bien, Daniel Ribas, Paulo Pacheco, Rodrigo Garcia, Leila Halawi
International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace
The present Brazilian regulation is not precise whether the alternate fuel could or could not be used to proceed to the original destination without compromising the emergency fuel, once exact specific requirements are met. As a result of unclear directrices, each major airline in Brazil comprehends and applies the ICAO recommendation in its way. Such a non-standardized interpretation of the current regulation certainly compromises both the airline industry's safety and efficiency in the country. Therefore, this research proposes a more comprehensive and clear text for the Brazilian rules, encouraging airlines to adhere to what the ICAO recommendation preconizes widely.
Who Owns The Skies? Ad Coelum, Property Rights, And State Sovereignty, 2021 Georgetown University Law Center
Who Owns The Skies? Ad Coelum, Property Rights, And State Sovereignty, Laura K. Donohue
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
In light of the history of the doctrine of ad coelum, as well as the states’ preeminent role (secured by the Tenth Amendment) in regulating property and airspace up to the 500-foot level, it is remarkable that the federal government has begun to claim that it controls everything above the blades of grass. This chapter challenges those statements, demonstrating that history and law establish that property owners, and the states, control the airspace adjacent to the land.

Alternative Data And Insider Trading: Are Investment Managers Assleep At The Wheel On Big Data Use?, 2020 Brooklyn Law School
Alternative Data And Insider Trading: Are Investment Managers Assleep At The Wheel On Big Data Use?, William Montemarano
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
The rapid rise of “big data” has transformed the way that professional investors make investment decisions. In addition, the intersection of the United States federal securities laws and the use of “big data” to inform securities trading lies in uncharted waters. The nuanced and factually-dependent securities laws are far behind industry practices, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have remained largely silent on the issue to date. This Note argues that this combination of murky laws and rapidly evolving business practices gives rise to legal and regulatory risk, and that investment managers leveraging …

A Litigator’S Guide To The Galaxy: A Look At The Pragmatic Questions For Adjudicating Future Outer Space Disputes, Michael J. Listner, Joshua T. Smith
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
Since the beginnings of the space age, outer space activities have been the realm of government with ancillary involvement by non-governmental actors. The international legal framework for outer space contemplated the involvement of non-governmental actors, but in creating dispute resolution mechanisms the role of non-governmental entities was not considered ripe. The surge of direct non-governmental involvement in outer space activities in recent years again raises the issue of dispute resolution and exemplifies the lack of dispute resolution mechanisms designed to address differences between sovereign states. As the pace of non-governmental activity increases, so does the likelihood of disputes arising between …
Air Traffic Safety Management: The Significance Of Voluntary Reporting And Data Distribution, 2020 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Air Traffic Safety Management: The Significance Of Voluntary Reporting And Data Distribution, Xavier M. Ashley
Beyond: Undergraduate Research Journal
This study primarily investigated inadequacies identified through the utilization of the Air Traffic Safety Action Program (ATSAP), a Voluntary Safety Reporting Program (VSRP) overseen by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The primary objective of this research was to ascertain whether the FAA was properly managing the ATSAP and if the program was capable of effectively identifying safety hazards present in the national airspace. To assist in this determination, this study communicated the basic characteristics and significance of safety management and voluntary reporting in aviation. This served to clarify the intended function of the ATSAP and to articulate contributions that …
