The Journal of Air Law and Commerce, a quarterly publication, was founded at Northwestern University in 1930
and moved to SMU in 1961. The oldest scholarly periodical in the English
language devoted primarily to the legal and economic problems affecting
aviation and space, it has a worldwide circulation with more than 2,300
subscribers in 54 countries and 170,000 digital downloads in the last year. Articles by distinguished lawyers,
economists, government officials, and scholars deal with domestic and
international problems of the airline industry, private aviation, drones, and
space, as well as general legal topics that have a significant impact on
the area of aviation.
The Journal of Air Law and Commerce also sponsors an annual symposium on selected problems in aviation law and publishes selected papers from that symposium in one of its issues. More than 500 aviation lawyers and industry representatives annually attend.
