We had an amazing time at ForceFest 2020. It was wonderful to have an online community who loves Star Wars. Below are recordings of our two panels.

Lawyers on the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back!

Can Darth Vader murder Imperial officers for poor job performance? And what can Vader teach us about contract modification? Join our brave band of lawyers from The Legal Geeks as they take on war crimes on Hoth, whether Luke had a duty to rescue his friends from the Empire, the legality of dumping trash in space. Featuring Steve Chu (Assistant US Attorney), Bethany Bengfort (Durie Tangri), Nari Ely (US Courts), and moderated by Stephen Tollafield (Professor at UC Hastings College of Law).

This is the Law: Lawyers on the Mandalorian

Bounty hunting is a complicated profession. That is why lawyers geeked out over all of the legal issues in the first season of The Mandalorian. Can bounty hunters use lethal force? What is the enforceability of an oral contract made during a shoot out? Is it murder to shoot a droid or destruction of property? These issues and more will be discussed by lawyers from The Legal Geeks.
