About this Event

A Pop Culture Conversation About Law, Power, and Justice

Join an expert lawyer and legal scholar for Star Wars & The Justice System, a thought-provoking discussion that uses the world of Star Wars as a lens to explore our own legal system. From the fall of the Galactic Republic to the rise of the Empire, we’ll look at what these stories reveal about the rule of law, political power, and the fragility of justice in the real world.

This isn’t a law class. It’s a lively, interactive conversation designed to spark ideas — best enjoyed with a drink in hand. You don’t need to know Star Wars (or anything about law) to join. Curiosity encouraged.

Come explore big questions, share perspectives, and meet fellow curious adults through your After5 Society.
