Law professor鈥檚 memory honoured with Air and Space fellowship

Published: 27 November 2008

At the time of his death in 2004, Masao Sekiguchi was considered to be one of the world鈥檚 most influential aviation lawyers. He had served as Director of the Air Law Institute of Japan, Dean and Professor of Law at Tokyo鈥檚 Komazawa University and had played a pivotal role in developing unified rules for compensating victims of international air disasters. Yet Professor Sekiguchi had never forgotten his time as a graduate student at 缅北强奸鈥檚 Institute of Air & Space Law (IASL), where he earned his LL.M. in 1982.

To honour the role 缅北强奸 played in advancing his career, Professor Sekiguchi鈥檚 widow, Teruko Sekiguchi, has established The Professor Masao Sekiguchi Fellowship in Air and Space law. Mrs. Sekiguchi鈥檚 generous donation of more than $100,000 was matched through challenge grant funding of $200,000.

鈥淭he Professor Masao Sekiguchi Fellowship in Air and Space Law will allow the Institute to recruit the best and brightest students in the field,鈥 said Paul Dempsey, director of the IASL. 鈥淗e was 鈥 and is 鈥 an inspiration to all graduates of the 缅北强奸 Institute of Air & Space Law. This is a wonderful homage to his memory and his connection to 缅北强奸, and we are deeply grateful for Mrs. Sekiguchi鈥檚 generosity.鈥

The IASL also recently received funding to create the Erin J.C. Arsenault Fellowships in Space Governance, open to graduate students interested in advancing peace and security in outer space through law and policy.
