During this welcome meeting, we will introduce SCritLS and CLS. Then, we will do a doctrinal debrief, exploring current 1L legal doctrines and beyond through a critical theory. Have you wondered: How power imbalances between parties affect bargaining in contracts? who is assumed to be the “reasonable person,” and who is left out? How do rules of civil procedure systematically exclude some from seeking justice?

Bring your thoughts, questions, and curiosity—we can’t wait to dive into these discussions with you as we kick off an exciting year of critical conversations and community!
