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.

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.

Calls to “future proof” the legal system against emerging technologies—AI, algorithmic decision-making, deepfakes, and more—now pervade public discourse. Professor Gregory Dickinson challenges the premise that rapid technological change requires similarly rapid lawmaking. Drawing on history, sociology, and public-choice theory, he argues that the most powerful tools for governing technological innovation are the general-purpose principles already embedded in our legal system. From Gutenberg’s press to modern AI systems, premature, technology-specific regulation often entrenches incumbents, suppresses experimentation, and destabilizes legal principles that have proven durable across technological eras. A legal system committed to generality, stability, and adaptability—rather than bespoke rules for each new invention—better protects both innovation and the rule of law.

Dearest 2L,

Most big law firms pay for their incoming associates’ bar prep. However, students pursuing clerkships, government, and nonprofit positions immediately after graduation often do not have that same opportunity.

If your big law firm is paying for your bar prep course, it is highly likely that the bar prep company will also provide a course for a public interest “buddy.” There is no cost to you or your firm. This is a meaningful and immediate way to invest in access to public interest work and to support your peers!

At our 2L Bar Prep Matchmaking Mixer, Big Law 2Ls can match with a public interest 2L to help ensure that everyone has access to a bar prep course. If you are a student working at a big law firm, you would simply ask the bar prep company of your choice to extend bar prep coverage to your public interest buddy. We will provide next steps and suggested language to make that request easy.

This practice has been successfully carried out for years, and this project is designed to make the process smoother and more transparent.

You may already have a friend in mind to match with, and if so, wonderful! Drop by the mixer, grab a treat, and let us know via the survey! If not, we are here to help facilitate a match. Please fill out the survey below so we can better understand the bar prep landscape of the 2L class, and stay tuned for more information.

Sincerely, The Justice Center Student Advisory Board
