On March 4, 2024,the Allard Law Film Society, and the Canadian Network of Law & Humanities came together to co-host a special showing of the timeless classic: “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.”

 Embark on a journey to a galaxy far, far away, where we explore how the law can be understood better through the medium of film. Popcorn and Pizza provided.

Immerse yourself in the gripping tale of rebels, Jedi knights, and the ever-looming dark side. Consider how the archetypical narrative illuminates our present legal moment, with this companion piece: “How liberty dies in a Galaxy Far, Far Away: Star Wars, Democratic Decay and Weak Executives”

Take your lunch hour to a galaxy far far away, and experience this thought-provoking exploration of themes such as justice, power, and the resilience of the human spirit. This event promises an engaging blend of cinematic brilliance and intellectual stimulation.
