Description

Writing my brief I

Use Westlaw and Lexis+ But

Not Chat-GPT

   ~Heather Haratsis

Stir this for me, please

Is this assumption of whisk?

Fresh chocolate torte

   ~Turner Jensen

Freedom to be Left

alone is a Right except

when we Disagree

   ~Matias Cava

In court we shall jest,

Citing precedents with zest,

Laws with wit, we test.

   ~Philip Abraham

In the courtroom dance,

Wit and caffeine fuel our stance,

Law puns, our best chance.

   ~Philip Abraham

One more and One more

One more, one more, another

Bolded Notes Case, ugh

   ~Taylor Finke

OCIs, job hunts

Resumes, cover letters

Just want to be paid

   ~Taylor Finke

Something smells funny

Toilet overflowed again

Don't flush paper towels

   ~Josh Hairston

Sometimes it is hard

To count to five and seven

But that's okay

   ~Paul Weitzel

Endless case readings

Legal jargon fills my mind

Law school consumes me

   ~William L. Duffy

First-year law student,

Socratic fear grips my soul,

Cold calls never end.

   ~William L. Duffy

Summary judgment:

Peculiar, unsteady

No eyes dead letters

   ~Zach Baker

Abettor reason

Bare numbers bitter treason

Austere Anubis

   ~Zach Baker

Hope is a habit

On the crest of saintly women

Washed by hand Thursdays

   ~Zach Baker

No alligator

When you say, "see you later!"

Say litigator.

   ~Heather Haratsis

Reasonable wind

Beyond judgment decided

Summer should be here

   ~Justin Firestone

In a bind, intrigue

Filled with words

Thrills and adventure

   ~Richard Leiter
