Abstract: We prove the strong unique continuation property for the Lamé system of elastostatics in the plane, $ \nabla\cdot\left(\mu\left (\nabla u+\nabla u^t \right) \right)+\nabla\left(\lambda\nabla\cdot u\right)=0$, with variable Lamé coefficients $ \mu$, $ \lambda$, when $ \mu$ is Lipschitz and $ \lambda$ is measurable.
