Law and Political Economy Society of Berkeley

A community of students and faculty members interested in how law shapes politics and the economy through roundtable discussions, reading groups, and scholarly presentations The Law and Political Economy Society (LPE Soc) of Berkeley offers a community through which Berkeley Law students can build creative thinking, dissent, and systemic critique into their study and practice. LPE Soc is a student-run organization dedicated to fostering interest and discussion in the emerging LPE movement, which seeks to expose how legal rules concentrate economic and political power among dominant social groups, and simultaneously build and expand modes of legal thinking which embed the economy in social life. By revealing the artificial divide between law, politics, and economics, we seek to help students exercise their power to reimagine the social order.
