Running in year four Four seniors will lead Nebraska cross country

Strumming away

Tony Church, a local 12-string guitarist, has been playing since 1975. Church played at Crescent Moon Coffee on Tuesday night. He no longer plays six-string because there is too much open space. It takes an incredible amount of concentration to play with the 12-string, but it speaks to him.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Law has introduced the first doctorate space law program, J.S.D., a doctorate of juridical law, in the U.S. Elsbeth J. Magilton, executive director of space, cyber and telecom law programs and the U.S. legal studies LL.M program, said the College of Law saw the higher demand for commercial space law and space law experts. “We saw a need and fulfilled it,” Magilton wrote in an email. Frans von der Dunk, a professor of space law, will be supervising candidates who will be in the program. A majority of European doctorate programs, as well as programs in

other countries such as China and India, require students to research, write a dissertation, participate in a public defense and then their work is usually published, von der Dunk said. The new space doctorate program is based on a European style of doctorate-level education, von der Dunk said. The difference from this program and other U.S. programs is that students don’t have to take extra courses or reside in the U.S., von der Dunk said. Students are required to physically be in Lincoln two times during the program: once during the application process and again at their public defense, von der Dunk said.
