27 TEACHING

(Courses Taught; Supervision of Research Fellows and Students)

11. TEACHING RESPONSIBILITIES:

(a) Regular Courses Taught

My teaching responsibilities at the Faculty of Law have been constantly expanding. I started by

teaching part of the course on Space Law Applications in 1984. I often taught four courses each

academic year (three graduate level and one undergraduate level) worth 12 credits:

1. Public International Law (undergraduate)

2. Space Law: General Principles (Graduate)

3. Law of Space Applications (Graduate)

4. Government Regulation of Space Activities (Graduate)

For several years, I taught an undergraduate course on Canadian Communications Law.

At the International Space University, Strasbourg, France (1995-1998), I taught two graduate level

courses, namely: (a) International Space Law and National Space Laws of Selected Countries; and,

(b) Space Programs and Policies of Major Space Powers.

(b) New Courses Developed

At the Faculty of Law, I developed and introduced the following courses over the years:

1) Space Law Applications (developed in 1984). (Graduate)

2) Communications Law (developed in 1990).

3) Government Regulation of Space Activities (developed in 1999). (Graduate)

4) In 2003, I carried out a thorough revision of existing Space Law courses and developed a

coherent set of three courses with updated and rationalized content i.e. Law of Space

Applications; Space Law: General Principles; and, Government Regulation of Space

Activities.

I initiated the Faculty of Law's participation in the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Competition

(including the grant of academic credits for participating students). It is worth mentioning that

this is the world’s only Moot Competition whose international finals have always been judged by

three sitting Judges of the International Court of Justice. This is a great tool for learning Space

Law as well as gaining valuable international mooting experience.

At the International Space University, as the first Director of the Master of Space Studies program,

I actively participated and spearheaded the creation (and implementation) of an entirely new

international, interdisciplinary and intercultural graduate-level program, covering all space-related

28 disciplines. The program is unique in the world and has been highly successful since its creation

in 1995.

(c) Other Teaching-related Activities

I have acted as external examiner for several theses from McGill and foreign universities, including

those by Ted Adam Newsome (LL.M.,McGill 2016); Akintunde_Chris_Iseoluwa (LL.M. McGill

2016); Timiebi Aganaba doctoral thesis (McGill IASL, 2016); Jessika Ko doctoral thesis (McGill-

I acted as a Faculty Advisor to the Faculty of Law's Teams that participated in the Philip C. Jessup

International Law Moot Court Competition (for in 2000 and 2001) and in the Manfred Lachs Space

Law Moot Competition for eleven out of fourteen years (2003-2017).

I revise and update on a yearly basis the student course packs for the courses that I teach. I also

provide students with the latest news-developments relevant to the subject matter of my courses

by uploading such information on MyCourses for the benefit of my students.
