III. TEACHING

(Undergraduate and Graduate Courses; Supervision of Research Fellows and Students)

1. 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. At present, I often teach four

courses each academic year (three graduate level and one undergraduate level) worth 12 credits.

They are:

1. Public International Law

2. Space Law: General Principles

3. Law of Space Applications

4. Government Regulation of Space Activities

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

good knowledge of Aviation Law, Human Rights Law,2 Canadian Immigration & Refugee Law,3

and Hindu Law,4 and will be willing to teach any of these subjects if given sufficient notice for

preparation.

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:

2 From 1992 to 1995, I served on the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, participated in the decisions of six cases and

authored “a decision that established a new and bold interpretation on employment related functions. This decision

was appealed to a higher court which supported the interpretation and application of the law as developed” by me.

Letter from Keith Norton, Office of the President, Human Rights Tribunal, Ottawa, Ontario.

3 For about three decades, I have been working as a Consultant in Canadian Immigration and I have assisted over

200 clients. I was also a member of the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants, a statutory professional body.

As an active member of the Education and Standards Committee of the Society, I made a significant contribution in

designing education standards for the members of the Society.

4 Hindu Law was a major subject that I studied during my LL.M. course in India. I have appeared before Courts in

Montreal and Immigration Appeal Board as an expert witness and provided opinions on matters related to Hindu

Law in several cases.

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

2) Communications Law (developed in 1990).

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

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.

With these changes, the McGill Faculty of Law now undoubtedly offers the most advanced and

comprehensive Space Law program in the world. In this regard, it is quite gratifying to note that

at the time of introducing their Space Law program, the President of the University of Nebraska,

J.B. Milliken acknowledged that “McGill University, in Canada, is regarded as the world’s leading

space law university.”5

I have been involved in several activities related to curriculum development, especially as a

Member of the Graduate Studies Committee of the Faculty of Law from 2003 to 2013.

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

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

in 1995.

(c) Other Teaching-related Activities

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 nine out of eleven years (2003-2013).

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.

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

33 those by Irene Ekweozoh (McGill, 2013), Catherine Doldirina’s Doctoral Thesis (McGill,

2012), Charles Schlumberger’s Doctoral Thesis (McGill, 2009), Fabio Tronchetti’s Ph.D. Thesis

(Leiden, 2008), Chukeat Noichim’s Ph.D. Thesis (McGill, 2008), Wasim Syed Zaidi’s LL.M.

Thesis (McGill, 2008), LL.M. Thesis from University of Witwatersrand School of Law,

Johannesburg, South Africa, (2007), and Mark Edward Peterson (2006).

(d) Impact of my Research Activities on Teaching

My extensive and varied research undertakings have been quite helpful to me in maintaining the

high quality of my teaching. The details of my research activities are included in the Section on

my Research and in my Curriculum Vitae.

(e) Evidence of Teaching Effectiveness

My teaching (both in the form of course instruction and research supervision) has been highly

effective as evidenced by the very positive comments (both written and oral) and very good

evaluations that I have received from my students and peers. My overall instructor evaluation by

students (as posted on Mercury Course Evolution) is 4.25 average for all the courses (11 in total)

that I taught during the last three years (2010-2013). I will be glad to provide more detailed and

precise information in this regard if required.

(f) Teaching Development Activities

I have been actively engaged in teaching development activities, which could be divided into two

categories: (a) as noted above, on-going efforts to introduce new courses or to expand and update

the content of existing courses; and, (b) improving teaching techniques. The latter includes regular

use of audio-visual equipment. Space Law is highly technical in nature. By using power point

slides and short videos of how satellites, rockets, space stations, and radio frequencies work,

students’ understanding of the appropriate technologies and eventually the learning of the law

governing them is significantly enhanced. In addition, I regularly invite several knowledgeable

experts with extensive practical experience in the field to explain to my students the technological,

operational, business, policy and legal aspects of space activities.

2. STUDENTS SUPERVISED-SUPERVISING:

(For the names of the students and research fellows that I supervised as well as their research

projects)

During my employment at the Faculty of Law, I have supervised:

4 visiting scholars,

6 postdoctoral fellows,

34 17 doctoral students,

75 masters’ students, and

48 term essays written by graduate and undergraduate students.

For the last 11 years (since my tenure track appointment) I have on average concurrently

supervised 14 students each academic year (this number I believe far exceeds the Faculty of Law

average).

At the International Space University, Strasbourg, France, I guided three Team Projects. These

Projects were international and interdisciplinary in nature, and were undertaken by teams

comprising 30 to 40 graduate students each. In addition, I supervised about 20 individual student

research projects (i.e. Term Essays).
