LPE 101: An Introduction to Law & Political Economy

LPE101 is a series of events aimed at challenging the narratives of traditional legal education through the lens of the Law and Political Economy Project. What's LPE? In short, it's a movement in legal academia centered around the understanding that politics and the economy cannot be separated and that both are constructed by the law. This is scholarship against inequality, precarity, racial hierarchy, intersectional oppression, political alienation, ecological collapse, and social catastrophe.

During our first event on February 17th at 5:30pm we'll be screening a lecture by Prof. Amy Kapczynski, Faculty Co-Director of the Law and Political Economy Project, from Yale Law School introducing what LPE is and why it might be a useful frame. The screening will be followed by a live discussion and Q&A with Prof. Kapczynski. We are also planning to hold events later in the semester discussing Torts and Civil Procedure.
