Course Detail: OLAW - Aviation Law in the U.S. (Virtual)
Overview
The online and virtual Aviation Law Course, designed by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, is part of the U.S. Aviation Law Diploma in partnership with IATA and introduces participants to administrative law and the role of the FAA in the rule making process. Participants will learn about the legal and regulatory environment for those working in the airline industry and understand the role of federal government in addressing problems in the industry. Learners will gain insight into the functions of U.S. Congress, and executive branch agencies such as the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and their role in enacting and enforcing laws.
Tailored for non-legal professionals in the dynamic air transport industry, this aviation law short course delves into the intricate legal framework governing air transportation. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the legal landscape as it applies to a number of areas including accident liability, airline crew and passenger protection issues, FAA enforcement, and other important areas. Through an engaging number of interactive sessions, course participants will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate complex legal challenges in the ever-evolving aviation sector.
The ERAU U.S. Aviation Law Course will be submitted for consideration to the Florida Bar for the award of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credits. The ERAU and IATA short-courses and diploma are not eligible for academic credit toward a degree program, nor do they qualify individuals to practice law or sit for the bar exam.
The Aviation Law course can be taken independently or toward the U.S. Aviation Law Diploma, offered in conjunction with IATA.
