2009 has been a BIG year for 2002 Space Grant Intern Jacob Lauser! Since graduating from UA in 2004, Jacob has worked to combine passions for space and law, graduating from VA Law School in May, 2009, and pursuing work in the American Bar Association's Air and Space Law Sections. As a licensed attorney in PN, he will soon be licensed to practice in Washington, D.C. and NE, and is starting work towards a Master of Law Degree in Space and Telecommunications Law from the University of NE. This will ultimately enable him to work for NASA's Office of the General Counsel or other space R&D organizations. To top off an amazing year, Jacob was married, and he and his wife Wendy are expecting their first child! Kudos and congratulations Jacob!
