Some of the Trump administration’s most consequential immigration changes aren’t the ones making headlines. On Stanford Legal, immigration law expert Lucas Guttentag joins host Professor Pamela Karlan to explain how hundreds of memos, directives and implementation shifts — many receiving ...little public scrutiny — are collectively reshaping the U.S. immigration system.

Guttentag, founder of the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project, also discusses the Immigration Policy Tracking Project he launched with law students to document each policy move and the related legal challenges.

Students in Stanford Law School’s Policy Practicum: Governing Autonomous and AI Systems in Outer Space recently wrapped up a two-quarter project examining one of the more futuristic--and fascinating--questions in law and policy: how should U.S. governance keep pace with a space environment that ...is growing more congested, more complex, and more autonomous?

The lab originated with students at the Stanford Space Law Society, who proposed the course concept to lecturers Erik Jensen and Dinsha Mistree from the @Neukom Center for the Rule of Law. Together, they worked to establish the course as part of Stanford Law School’s Policy Lab Program and brought together students from law, engineering, international policy, and business to explore new governance frameworks for outer space. Their client for this “only at Stanford Law” policy lab was the Aerospace Corporation, a nonprofit that advises the U.S. government on space enterprise and systems engineering issues.

In the “New Space” era, private companies are rapidly transforming Earth’s orbit into a crowded, commercially driven environment. Thousands of satellites are already in orbit, with many more expected in the coming years, all navigating around millions of pieces of fast-moving debris. As AI systems support collision avoidance, navigation, and other novel operations, the legal and policy questions become harder and more urgent.
