contents We study extremal shocks of $1$-d hyperbolic systems of conservation laws which fail to be genuinely nonlinear. More specifically, we consider either $1$- or $n$-shocks in characteristic fields which are either concave-convex or convex-concave in the sense of LeFloch. We show that the theory of $a$-contraction can be applied to obtain $L^2$-stability up to shift for these shocks in a class of weak solutions to the conservation law whose shocks obey the Lax entropy condition. Our results apply in particular to the $2 \times 2$ system of nonlinear elastodynamics.
