ABOUT IRASL BLOG:

The Indian Review of Space Law (IRASL) Blog was launched in May of 2023 with the aim of making the Indian Review of Air and Space Law more accessible, compact and digestible to readers interested in aviation and space law. The idea was conceptualised by the active contributions of the CRASL Team. Free from the trappings of academic complexity and rigidity, the IRASL Blog provides analyses of specific, contemporary legal issues in bite-sized and easy-to-read pieces; all the while making no compromises on the quality of the content. With articles ranging from pragmatic application to abstract analysis, and everything in between, we endeavour to throw open, air and space law to the masses, no longer making it a niche field of law.
