Come join CLS for fellowship, food, and faith each week as we read through an independent Bible study.

This talk asks whether and how contract law is relevant for the goal of promoting social justice. Put differently: should someone interested in promoting social justice in the U.S. devote any attention and effort to thinking about contract law and its possible reform? Answering this question requires first answering two others: What’s social justice and what’s contract law? Once these answers are given, contract law emerges as having some relevance for the project of transforming society to promote social justice. Contract law governs the procedure for forming enforceable market transactions between individuals and firms. As such, it can never be the main target and means of meaningful and equitable social transformation. Nevertheless, certain aspects of contract law—such as those pertaining to non-fungibility of certain human interests or “boilerplate” contracting—are significant and even indispensable elements of a more comprehensive project of institutional transformation in pursuit of a fundamental structure of society that is in line with human freedom and justice.

Valery is an associate at Jackson Walker in Houston working in NIL/Advertising Corporate M&A. Lawrence works for C3 Presents and does NIL work for college athletes. They will speak on their experiences and what law students should know! Lunch will be provided thanks to SAO.

The LBJ School's Prison and Jail Innovation Lab is proud to host a free community screening of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Alabama Solution (2025), an HBO documentary film exposing the crisis inside Alabama's prisons. Set inside America’s deadliest prison system, ‘The Alabama Solution’ gives audiences a rare, unfiltered view of America’s carceral crisis that resonates far beyond the South. Through investigative reporting that includes footage shot on contraband cell phones and insider accounts from former prison officials and others, the film exposes shocking brutality and institutional corruption in a secretive system that has grown to consume a quarter of Alabama’s state budget. The film screening will be followed by a discussion between Prison and Jail Innovation Lab Director Michele Deitch and Beth Shelburne, an Alabama-based journalist who is a co-producer of the film.
