Legal Theory & LPE: Grasping Law at Its Roots

Thursday, September 26, 2024 @ 12:50 pm - 2:00 pm

Text on image: Title at the top - Seeing the forest and the trees through lpe: a two-part series Part I - Legal Theory & LPE: Grasping Law at Its Roots; then, LPE at Berkeley Law logo; then, "Come join LPE at Berkeley Law for a conversation with Professor Talha Syed on legal theory and socially purposive lawyering. RSVP + more info in the QR Code!" with an arrow pointing at a QR code; then, "Thurs, Sept 26 12:50 - 2:00, Rm 244" and the required posting information: "lpe society of berkeley (currently changing name to the above) / berkeley.lpesoc@gmail.com / 9/26". The backdrop is brown soil with one small, green, budding plant visible around the text.

For law students seeking to mobilize law towards just social aims, legal education can prove deactivating. Students enter law school with their eyes on the forest and leave lost amid the trees.

The LPE movement exists to address this. LPE is about re-grasping law as many of us first approached it – namely, as a means for social change. Our goal is to empower law students to comprehend law, precisely so that we can use law.

If you’re interested in learning how to use law for good, come join LPE at Berkeley Law for a conversation with Professor Syed on the role of legal theory in socially purposive lawyering.

Lunch provided! Please RSVP here.
