Critical Legal Studies Reading Group

PILSA met for the first session of the brand-new Critical Legal Studies Reading Group for lunch yesterday in room 35. We talked about this months article, Making Docile Lawyers: an Essay on the Pacification of Law Students, 111 Harv. L. Rev. 2027, got some things off of our chests, and thought of a few ways in which law school could be different.

Because this topic is close to the hearts of many law students, we are going to read an article along similar lines for next month. Stay tuned for the citation!
